Apple and cinnamon cupcakes are one of those small pleasures that evoke memories of family snacks, those moments shared around the table while enjoying a good chat.

Although the preparation is simple, the end result is absolutely delicious. A combination of flavors and textures that conquer the palates of adults and children.

Ingredients

• 2 fresh red apples (chopped into small cubes)
• 50 grams of butter
• 3 generous tablespoons of all-purpose flour
• 50 grams of powdered sugar
• a pinch of salt
• 2 free range eggs
• 100 ml fresh milk
• Cinnamon to taste

Preparation

1. Start with the preparation of the apples. In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and add the chopped apples. Cook until they acquire a tender texture and a golden hue. This step not only softens the apples, but also gives them a deeper flavor, ideal for making them stand out in your cupcakes.
2. In a large bowl, sift the flour together with the powdered sugar and a pinch of salt. This process ensures that your cupcakes have a soft and homogeneous texture.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. This will help the dough gain body and consistency.
4. Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly, so that all the ingredients are perfectly integrated.
5. With the help of a spoon, add the cooked apples to the preparation. Make sure to distribute them evenly.
6. Prepare a mold for muffins or cupcakes and pour the batter, making sure they are not too full.
7. As a final touch, sprinkle a little cinnamon on top of each cupcake. Not only will it give it an incredible aroma but it will enhance the flavor.
8. Preheat your oven to about 180°C and bake the cupcakes for about 20 to 25 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when you insert a toothpick and it comes out clean.
9. Once ready, let them cool a little and that’s it! Now you can enjoy these delicious cupcakes with a hot or cold drink, depending on the occasion.

Now all you need to do is enjoy this delight with family or friends!
