Ingredients:
For cupcakes:
3 cups sifted cake flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
½ tsp. salt
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 ½ tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup milk
For the apple filling:
2 tbsp. butter
2 tsp. cinnamon
2-3 tbsp. sugar
3 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and diced
For Cinnamon Buttercream Frosting :
1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
6 to 8 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
1/2 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
up to 1 tablespoon cinnamon
Instructions:
In a medium bowl, sift cake flour, baking powder and salt. With an electric
mixer, cream butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy,
about
2 minutes. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well and scraping down the
sides
of bowl after each addition. Add vanilla extract; mix well to combine. Add
dry
ingredients alternately with milk, beginning and ending with dry
ingredients.
Stir until just combined.
Divide batter evenly among cupcake liners, filling about 2/3-3/4 full. Bake
until golden; about 18 to 22 minutes. Remove from oven; cool for 5 minutes
in
pans. Transfer to wire racks; cool completely.
Apple filling: heat butter in medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add
cinnamon
and sugar; cook for a minute, until mixture begins to bubble. Lower heat
to
medium; stir in the apples. Mix well. Cook until apples are somewhat
tender,
about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
While apple mixture cools, use cone method to remove a chunk from center of
each
cupcake, leave a rim around the top of cupcake. Fill holes with cooled
apple
mixture.
Frosting:
Beat butter in a stand mixer until smooth. Add 4-5 cups confectioners'
sugar,
milk and vanilla. Beat until sugar disappears. Add more sugar, by 1/2
cups,
until desired consistency is reached. (For a stiff buttercream, use close
to the
max- 7-8 cups). Beat in cinnamon.
