Then prepare the Apple filling. Peel the apples and cut them in little pieces. Put them with all the other ingredients besides the butter in a pot and heat it up. When the water is almost evaporated, add the butter and cook the soft apple pieces in the butter for about 5 minutes.

Fill the cupcake cups 1/3 with the batter. Then put some cooked apple pieces on top. (little cupcakes about 1 Tsp.full, big size: 1 Tbsp full) Finish with an other layer of the batter.

bake the Mini’s for 15-18 minutes, the big ones for 20-23 minutes by 400F/200°C

cinnamon powder

Mix the butter with the powder sugar until you have a smooth mixture. You are ready to frost your cupcakes as soon as they are cold enough.

Ps: So presentation and combination is a sensation: drip some caramelsirup over the frosting….to bad I didnt have any for the moment 😉
