Apple Crumble Cupcakes

A fantastic recipe for Autumn (which seems to have crept up on us), these apple crumble cupcakes are a great no fuss recipe.

[fancy_header]You will need (makes 12 cupcakes):[/fancy_header]

  • 2 Apples (peeled, cored and chopped into cubes)
  • 55g Light Brown sugar
  • Pinch of Cinnamon
  • 175g Butter (or Margarine)
  • 175g Caster Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 3 Tbsp Cream (or milk)
  • 175g Self Raising Flour
  • 50g Plain Flour
  • 25g Light Brown Sugar
  • 25g Unsalted Butter (cubed)
  • Lined Baking Cups (available from IcedJemsShop.com)

Apple Crumble Cupcakes

Start by preheating your oven to 160 degrees while you make your mix. Peel, core and cube your apples (any apples are fine for this recipe), then mix with 55g of light brown sugar and a pinch of cinnamon.

Apple Crumble Cupcake Filling

When I say mix – I mean really mix! You want the sugar to start creating a syrup around the apple pieces. Pour a large spoonful of the mixture into the base of your baking cups.

Apple Crumble Cupcake Mix

Now for the cupcake mixture, cream together the butter and sugar until creamy. Then add the eggs, cream (or milk) and self-raising flour and mix until well combined and you have a thick cupcake mixture.

Spoon the mixture evenly between your baking cups on top of the apple mix, be careful not to overfill as they will rise and we also still need to add the crumble mixture!

Crumble Mixture

For the crumble, pop your butter cubes, sugar and flour into a bowl and mix into crumbs using your fingertips.

Spoon a layer of crumble mixture over each cupcake, then transfer to the oven for approx 18 mins (or until well risen and golden brown).

Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a cooling rack. I added a cute bow to mine to finish them (as you can see from the first picture), but the great thing about these cupcakes is that no decorating is needed – they’re done and ready to scoff!

Enjoy!

    What is the conversion of oz to cups or grams?

    Using a converter makes no sense??

    Hi Amanda

    2oz = 56.7grams
    3.5oz = 99.22 grams
    6oz = 170.1 grams
    This is what I’ve converted at
    Hope this helps
