Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3 medium Granny Smith apples, (cored, peeled and diced small)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups (187.5 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¾ cup (170 g) unsalted butter, (room temperature)
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, (room temperature)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (122.5 g) whole milk
  • 2 ounces cream cheese, (softened)
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 cups (476 g) heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the apple filling by cooking diced apples with sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and butter until tender. Set aside.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  3. For the cupcake batter, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in one bowl; in another bowl, beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time and mix well before incorporating dry ingredients alternately with milk.
  4. Fill each cupcake liner halfway with batter, add apple filling on top, then cover with remaining batter. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  5. For the topping, beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth; fold whipped heavy cream into this mixture once peaks form.
  6. Once cooled, frost cupcakes generously with whipped cream.
