If I advocate for desserts, then I definitely stand for this one. And now the question. Which do you prefer more – apple pie or cupcakes?

Let’s see how to make Apple Pie Cupcakes?

First, you need to cut the apples into a cube, fry in butter until soft with sugar and cinnamon, and add freshly squeezed lemon juice. Then make crumbs from brown sugar, flour, chopped nuts, and butter. The next step is to spread cinnamon dough cakes in prepared forms.

We distribute apples overall dough baskets, then sprinkle with nut crumbs and bake in the oven. Once the cupcakes have cooled, cover them with whipped cream and caramel topping. Below I will write for you a recipe for homemade caramel topping. Do not miss it!

How to cook homemade caramel topping?

• In a saucepan with a thick bottom over low heat, melt 4.5 ounces of sugar. Stir constantly with a silicone spatula.
• Cook the sugar until a caramel color appears, then add 3.5 ounces of butter and mix gently. Very careful! Caramel has a very high temperature!
• As soon as the caramel is combined with butter, turn off the heat and pour 75 ml of fat cream (33-35%) into the mixture with a thin stream. Mix and let cool for at least an hour.
  The caramel topping is ready and you are delicious! Use for your Apple Pie Cupcakes and other desserts.

Preparation Tips for Easy Apple Pie Cupcakes

• You can skip the apple cooking step if you buy a ready-made filling from canned apple pie.
• Replace the whipped cream with ice cream and get an even more unique dessert.
• Ready cupcakes can also be sprinkled with chocolate chips on top.
• Of this amount of ingredients, you get 7-8 cupcakes. If you want to treat a big company, just double the number of ingredients.

How to store Apple Pie Cupcakes?

Hide your cupcakes without topping in a container with a lid or cover hermetically with cling film. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Can I freeze apple pie cupcakes?

You can freeze everything, but these cupcakes are not worth it. Apples give a lot of juice and after defrosting they will lose their presentable appearance.

But, you can freeze everything separately, and apples, and nut crumbs. Before cooking, thaw them at room temperature for several hours. If the apples gave a lot of juice, you can remove it.
