Absolutely, here’s a summarized step-by-step guide for the Apple Pie Cupcakes:
Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
Prepare dry ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
Cream butter and sugar: In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add eggs and vanilla: Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine dry and wet ingredients: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix just until combined.
Prepare apples: In a small bowl, toss diced apples with brown sugar and cornstarch.
Fold apples into batter: Gently fold the diced apples into the batter, creating a delicious fall dessert mixture.
Fill cupcake liners: Spoon the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling them about 2/3 of the way full.
Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Cool: Allow the cupcakes to cool for a few minutes in the tin, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your delightful Apple Pie Cupcakes! 😋🍎🧁
