Apple pie cupcakes – notes

I recently craved something sweet with my coffee, and the weekend cake had just run out.

So, I quickly decided on some cupcakes. And since both my daughter and I love all kinds of apple cakes, I baked these cupcakes with roasted apples.

The cupcakes themselves are made quickly, they turn out nicely fluffy and soft, and lightly scented with cinnamon.

You can serve apple cupcakes in two ways – eat them still warm (but slightly cooled) with your favorite ice cream. And those that cool completely, decorate with whipped cream. Delicious taste guaranteed!

Ingredients necessary for making apple pie cupcakes

To make these cupcakes, you don’t need any fancy ingredients. I think you should already have everything at home, and if not, you can easily get them at a local convenience store.

  • apples – I used early Polish apples, the best will be hard and juicy ones, so they don’t fall apart into a pulp when frying. You can also use ready-made roasted apples here if you have a jar from last year’s supplies at home.
  • sugar – I used brown sugar for the apples here, but you can use regular sugar
  • lemon juice – I added a little to the apples to give them a nice color; if you don’t have a lemon, you can add a little “lemon extract” or omit this ingredient entirely
  • wheat flour – the most common, can be type 450 or 500
  • whipping cream – for whipped cream, I used 30% cream in a carton as usual – liquid, for the cream to whip well, it must be thoroughly chilled in the refrigerator

How to make apple pie cupcakes – tips

I started preparing the cupcakes with the apples, because they need to cool down after roasting. I roasted them in melted butter with sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon. If you have juicy apples and they produce a lot of juice during heating, add a little flour at the end to thicken the juice.

My cinnamon cupcakes were nicely fluffy thanks to thoroughly mixing the eggs with sugar. I mixed the eggs for several minutes until they became very thick and pale. Then I added the remaining ingredients, but I only mixed everything on low speed and very briefly, so that the mixture wouldn’t lose its fluffiness.

I put the batter into tall cupcake liners (about 5 cm, and then I got 12 cupcakes). If you have shorter liners, you will probably get a few more cupcakes from this recipe.
