125g Unsalted Butter at Room Temperature

2 tsps Baking Powder

1 tsp Ground Cinnamon

1/2 tsp Salt

Apples (I used 2)

1tsp Vanilla Extract

110g Soft Brown Sugar

250g Unsalted Butter at Room Temperature

400g Icing Sugar

2 tspb Milk

Method

Preheat the oven to 170oC.

For the cupcakes:

~Start by making the apple mixture. Peel, core and then chop the apples into little squares.

~Place in a large saucepan with enough water to cover them and simmer for 5-7 minutes until soft, and then leave until cool.

~Cream together butter and caster sugar until light and fluffy.

~Add the eggs, then vanilla extract until combined.

~Add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt and gently mix until combined.

~Fold in the apple mix.

~Spoon the mixture into a lined cupcake tin.

~Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Next make the crumble topping:

~In a large bowl, rub together the butter, flour, cinnamon and vanilla until nice and crumbly, and then stir in the sugar.

~Spread the crumble mix onto a lined baking tray and bake for 5-10 minutes until just golden.

For the icing:

~Beat together the butter and brown sugar with the cinnamon and vanilla extract, for 5-7 minutes until fully combined and light and fluffy.

~Add the icing sugar a little bit at a time and continue to beat until smooth (either by hand or low speed)

~Add the milk a tablespoon at a time until the icing is light and creamy but stiff enough to hold it’s shape.

Building the cupcakes:

~Once the cupcakes and crumble are fully cooled, spoon the icing into a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle.

~Spread a small amount of icing on the top of each cupcake, and add the crumble mixture.

~Using the piping bag, pipe a small swirl of icing onto the top of the crumble on each cupcake. Top with a small sprinkle of crumble, and enjoy!

I would highly recommend making this cupcakes.
