Yield 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 20

for the cupcakes
2 cup (240g) white whole wheat flour or gluten-free* flour (measured like this)
1 ½ tsp baking powder
¾ tsp baking soda
2 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground allspice
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
¼ tsp salt
½ tbsp (7g) unsalted butter or coconut oil, melted
2 large egg whites, room temperature
2 tsp vanilla extract
3 ½ tsp liquid stevia
½ cup (120g) plain nonfat Greek yogurt
¾ cup + 2 tbsp (210mL) nonfat milk
1 ¼ cups (155g) diced red apple (about 1 large)
for the frosting
2 cups (480g) plain nonfat Greek yogurt
2 servings (16g) sugar-free, fat-free instant vanilla pudding mix (see Notes)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
⅝ tsp liquid stevia, or adjusted to taste

Steps:

  • To prepare the cupcakes, preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners, and coat the liners with cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the butter, egg whites, vanilla extract, and liquid stevia. Stir in the Greek yogurt. Stir in 2 tablespoons of milk. Alternate between adding the flour mixture and the remaining milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture, and stirring just until incorporated. (For best results, add the flour mixture in 3 equal parts.) Gently fold in the diced apple.
  • Divide the batter between the prepared paper liners. Bake at 350°F for 19-22 minutes or until the centers feel firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • While the cupcakes bake, prepare the frosting. Add the Greek yogurt, instant pudding, cinnamon, and liquid stevia to a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer for 2 minutes. Cover the top of the bowl with foil, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Once the cupcakes have completely cooled, pipe the cinnamon frosting on top just before serving.

2 tablespoons white sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup buttermilk
1 egg
1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 1/2 apples, chopped
2 cups vegetable oil, for frying
Cinnamon and sugar, for garnish

Steps:

  • Cinnamon Apple Cupcake:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two standard cupcake tins with 15 paper liners.
  • Using a stand or hand mixer, cream together the sugar and butter on medium speed in a large bowl.
  • Slowly add in eggs, one at a time, and mix on medium speed until combined.
  • Reduce speed to low and add vanilla extract, milk, and sour cream.
  • In a separate bowl, combine both flours, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, and mix on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  • Using a large spoon, fill the cupcake liners three-quarters full and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cinnamon Apple Filling:
  • In a small saucepan over low heat, combine diced apple with sugar and cinnamon.
  • Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples are soft.
  • Set aside to fill cupcakes with later.
  • Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting:
  • With a hand or stand mixer, beat softened butter and cream cheese together on medium speed for 3 minutes.
  • Add vanilla and mix on medium speed until thoroughly combined.
  • Slowly add powdered sugar and beat on low for 1 minute.
  • Add cinnamon and gradually increase the speed to high and beat for 3 minutes, until fluffy.
  • Apple Fritter Topping:

  • Fry about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until golden. Remove fritters with a slotted spoon, and place on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb the excess oil.
  • Continue until all the batter is gone, being careful not to overcrowd the pan while frying.
  • While hot, sprinkle the fritters with cinnamon and sugar.
  • After cooled, cut fritters into pieces to top cupcakes.
  • To Assemble Cupcakes:

6 tablespoons cold butter, diced into small cubes
1/2 cup light brown sugar
For the cupcakes:
2 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt
16 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups granulated sugar

1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

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.

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.

  • 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.

Provided by Redsie

Categories     Dessert

Time 40m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 cup grated peeled apple (1 large apple)
2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar (from above)
1 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup canola oil or 1 cup corn oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F Line 12 muffin tin cups with paper cupcake liners.
  • Make the swirl and topping: In a small bowl, stir the sugar and cinnamon together.
  • Make the cupcakes: In a small bowl, mix together the grated apple and the 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, stir the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt together. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the eggs, oil, and vanilla, stirring until blended. Stir the reserved apple mixture, with any juice that bas been released.
  • Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the batter into each paper liner. Sprinkle ½ teaspoon cinnamon sugar over the batter in each liner. Spoon the remaining batter over the cinnamon sugar, using a scant 2 tablespoons of batter for each cupcake.
  • Use a pastry brush to dab the top of the batter with the melted butter. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar over the top of the cupcakes.
  • Bake just until the top feels firm and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes.
  • Cool the cupcakes for 10 minutes in the pan on a wire rack. Remove the cupcakes from the pan onto a wire rack and let cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe apples for the best flavor and texture.
  • Peel and core the apples before grating them. This will help to prevent the cupcakes from becoming too dense.
  • Be sure to measure the flour correctly. Too much flour will make the cupcakes dry and crumbly.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cupcakes tough.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them.
  • For a fun and festive touch, decorate the cupcakes with apple slices, cinnamon sticks, or sprinkles.

Conclusion:

Apple and cinnamon cupcakes are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are moist and flavorful, with a perfect balance of sweetness and spice. The cinnamon buttercream frosting is the perfect finishing touch, adding a creamy and decadent richness to the cupcakes. Whether you are making them for a special occasion or just for a weekday snack, these cupcakes are sure to be a hit.
