  • 30 g Light brown soft sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Mixed spice
  • 1 tsp Cornflour (cornstarch)
  • 10 g Unsalted butter
  • 8 g Light brown soft sugar
  • 17 g Plain flour
  • 1/8 tsp Cinnamon

  • 175 g Light brown soft sugar
  • 3 Eggs (large)
  • 175 g Self-raising flour
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon

  • 175 g Unsalted butter (softened)
  • 350 g Icing sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 23 tbsp Milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the apple filling: Peel, core, and chop apples into small pieces. In a pan over low heat, combine apples with 30 g light brown sugar, cornflour, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and mixed spice. Cook for 10-15 minutes until softened. Cool completely.
  2. Make the crumble topping: Preheat oven to 180°C Fan/200°C. Mix 17 g plain flour, 8 g light brown sugar, and 1/8 tsp cinnamon in a bowl. Rub in 10 g unsalted butter until crumbly. Spread on a lined tray and bake for about 10-15 minutes until golden.
  3. Bake the cupcakes: Preheat oven to 160°C Fan/180°C. Line a cupcake tin with cases. Cream together 175 g unsalted butter and 175 g light brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time while mixing well. Gradually fold in self-raising flour with remaining cinnamon and mixed spice until just combined.
  4. Fill & frost: Divide batter among cases and bake for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Once cooled, hollow out centers to fill with apple mixture. Prepare frosting by beating remaining butter, icing sugar, cinnamon, and milk until smooth; pipe onto cupcakes and sprinkle with crumble topping.
