Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°. Line muffin pan with liners. Set aside.
- Make the cake batter: In a large bowl, beat together egg, applesauce, oil, sugars, and vanilla. Mix in flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Stir in carrots and nuts, if using. Pour evenly into 12 muffin liners (about 2 tablespoons per cupcake). Set aside.
- Make the cheesecake batter: make sure all ingredients are room temperature to avoid lumps. Mix together cream cheese, sour cream, egg, sugar, and vanilla with a hand-held mixer. Pour evenly on top of cake batter in muffin pan (about 1-2 tablespoons per cupcake).
- Bake for about 18-25 minutes, until cheesecake is no longer runny. Cool completely. Chill at least 1 hour before serving. You can frost them once they're room temperature, but don't serve until they've chilled a bit so the cheesecake can set.
- Make the frosting: Using a hand mixer, cream butter and cream cheese until fluffy. Slowly add in powdered sugar and vanilla. Mix until smooth. Frosting option: use a 1M tip for a beautiful cupcake. Store in refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze unfrosted cupcakes for up to 1 month.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 2 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners and grease with butter spray.
- Make the base carrot cupcake batter: In a food processor, process the carrots until finely chopped.
- In a large bowl, whip the butter with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the granulated and brown sugars, and beat until smooth, about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- In a small bowl, beat together the eggs and vanilla extract.
- Add the egg mixture to the butter mixture in thirds, beating on medium speed between each addition until fully incorporated.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in thirds, beating on low speed between each addition until incorporated.
- Add the coconut oil and beat on medium-low speed for 1 minute, until fluffy.
- Finish making the cupcakes according to your desired variation.
- For the Cheesecake-Stuffed Carrot Cupcakes: Gently fold the carrots and 1⅓ cups Fisher Walnuts into the batter.
- Make the cheesecake filling: In a large bowl, whip together the cream cheese and sour cream with an electric hand mixer on medium-low speed until fluffy, 2 minutes. Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until fully incorporated. Add the eggs and beat on low speed until smooth.
- Spoon the carrot cupcake batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each a little more than halfway. Tap the muffin tins on the counter to smooth the batter. Spoon the cheesecake filling over the batter, filling each cup ¾ of the way. Bake the cupcakes for 25-27 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let cool completely.
- Meanwhile, make the lemon vanilla cream cheese frosting: In a large bowl, whip together the cream cheese and vanilla extract with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until fluffy, 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the powdered sugar and beat on low speed until smooth. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt, and mix on low speed to incorporate. Transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip and refrigerate until ready to use.
- To frost, place the tip of the piping bag upright at the center of a cupcake and squeeze until the cupcake is covered with frosting. Repeat with the remaining cupcakes, then garnish the centers with the remaining cup of Fisher Walnuts.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- To ensure the cupcakes have a moist and tender crumb, make sure not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in dry, dense cupcakes.
- Use high-quality cream cheese for the filling. This will ensure a smooth, creamy filling that is not too tangy.
- To prevent the cupcakes from sticking to the muffin tins, grease them lightly with cooking spray or line them with cupcake liners.
- Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can result in dry, crumbly cupcakes.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting adhere to the cupcakes better.
Conclusion:
Cheesecake-stuffed carrot cupcakes are a delicious and unique twist on the classic carrot cake. They are perfect for special occasions or everyday treats. With their moist and tender crumb, creamy cheesecake filling, and sweet cream cheese frosting, these cupcakes are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
