Apple Crumble Cupcakes Recipe By Tasty

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 160°C (325°F).
• In a medium saucepan, cook the apple, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and the juice of half a lemon until soft and fragrant.
• Mash until the mix resembles a paste. Let cool.
• Cream the butter and brown sugar with a hand mixer in a large bowl, smoothing out with a wooden spoon if needed.
• Sift in the flour, cornflour, baking powder, cinnamon, and ground cloves and mix until incorporated.
• Add one of the eggs and mix in. Repeat twice until all three eggs are fully incorporated to make the batter. Fold in the apple mixture.
• Pour cupcake mix into a muffin tin lined with cupcake cases. Fill about halfway. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Let cool.
• In a small bowl, rub the flour, oats, brown sugar, and butter together with your fingers until you have a crumble. Transfer to a small tin and toast under the grill for 5-10 minutes until golden brown.
• Top the cupcakes with whipped cream and the crumble mix.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• For the crumble:
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• In a medium mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients, and mix together using your fingertips. Spread the crumb mixture on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake for 30 minutes or until the crumble reaches a golden brown color. Let cool and set aside. Leave the oven on to bake the cupcakes.
• For the cupcakes:
• Line a cupcake pan with twelve paper baking cups and a second pan with six baking cups.
• Sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt, and set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a bowl with a handheld electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add the eggs one at a time, mixing slowly after each addition.
• Add one third of the flour mixture to the butter mixture, then gradually add one third of the hot water, beating slowly until well incorporated. Add another third of the flour mixture, followed by a third of the hot water. Add the remaining flour mixture, followed by the remaining hot water, and beat just until combined. Stop to scrape down the bowl as needed.
• Using a spatula, fold the grated apple and half of the apple crumble mixture into the batter.
• Using a standard-size ice cream scoop, fill each baking cup so that it is two-thirds full. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes (start checking at 15 minutes) or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. After 5 minutes, transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely for approximately 20 minutes.
• For the frosting:
• Place all ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer or in a bowl with a handheld electric mixer. Beat until the frosting is light and airy, approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Frost each cupcake with a signature swirl (see below), and top with a sprinkling of the remaining apple crumble.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, olive oil, and vanilla.
• Whisk in the eggs, 1 at a time, until fully incorporated.
• Add the baking soda, cinnamon, half of the flour, and half of the cider and whisk to combine.
• Add the remaining flour and the rest of the cider and whisk until completely combined.
• Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Pour the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about ⅔ full.
• Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Let cool.
• Make the frosting: In a large bowl, cream the butter and cream cheese together with an electric hand mixer until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
• Add the powdered sugar in 3 to 4 additions, mixing in between each until incorporated.
• Add the cinnamon, apple cider, and vanilla and mix to combine.
• Transfer the frosting to a piping bag or zip-top bag.
• Pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes. Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon.
• Enjoy!
