• 2 medium sized apples
• 3 tablespoons of light brown sugar (36g)
• ½ teaspoon of cinnamon (1.3g)
• 1 tablespoon of cornstarch (8g)

• 2 tablespoons of salted butter (28g)
• 3 tablespoons of light brown sugar (36g)

Start my cupcake batter first by browning my butter. In a small pan, over medium-heat, Let the butter melt and simmer, while constantly stirring, until it was an amber brown. In a large bowl, Add in the brown butter, oil, sugar, and eggs and whisked this together for about 2 minutes. Then Add in the flour, spices, and salt and folded the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. In my cupcake tin, Line 9 cupcake spaces with cupcake liner.

Portion 6 ounces of the batter into each cupcake tin.

Bake these at 350F (160C) for 18-20 minutes. Once they were done, Let them cool to room temperature and scooped out the middle with a large piping tip. While the cupcakes were cooling, Start the apple pie filling. Peel and diced 2 medium sized apples.

In a small pot, Add in the apples, sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch. Let this simmer over medium-low heat for 5-8 minutes, or until the apples were soft. After, Let these cool to room temperature and then scooped around 2 ounces into the middle opening Make in the cupcakes. To make the crumble, Mix together melted butter, flour, and sugar. Then Use a whisk to make sure the dough formed small crumbles.

Spread the crumbles evenly on a baking sheet and baked this at 350F (160C) for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

To make the frosting, I browned more butter and let it cool to room temperature until it was a soft solid again. Then in a mixing bowl, Add in the butter, heavy whipping cream, sugar, and cinnamon. Mix this with my hand mixer for 3-5 minutes, until I had fluffy peaks.

I piped the frosting around each cupcake, added another ounce or so of apple pie filling to the top and topped it all off with the crumbles.
