A yummy spiced apple cupcake recipe by Natalie Porter for a delicious spiced autumn treat!
Brought to you by Natalie Porter from Immaculate Confections
Ingredients
For the cupcakes
- 175g butter
- 75g caster sugar
- 100g dark brown sugar
- 3 eggs
- 210g self-raising flour
- a generous tsp of mixed spice
- 2 large tbsp apple sauce
- 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract
For the buttercream
- 250g butter
- 500g icing sugar
- 1/2 tbsp cocoa
- 2 tbsp caramel
- 1/2tsp mixed spice
For the decoration
- caramel
- apple
Instructions
1
Mix the butter and sugars together until smooth and creamy.
2
Sieve the flour and mixed spice together. Add the eggs to the butter mixture one at a time, along with a little of the flour to prevent the mixture from separating.
3
Add the vanilla extract and apple sauce.
4
Fold in the rest of the flour.
5
Put two large teaspoons of cake mix into each cupcake case.
6
Bake at 160C for 14-18 minutes.
7
Mix the butter and sugar to make the buttercream.
8
Add the caramel and mixed spice.
9
Add enough cocoa to give the buttercream a rich toffee colour – it shouldn't affect the flavour too much.
10
Cut the apple into very fine slices and place directly onto the bars of a clean oven shelf.
11
Bake at 120C for around an hour. Turn the oven off and leave the apple inside till cool. This should give you dried apple slices in interesting shapes.
12
Pipe a small swirl of buttercream onto the cupcakes, and finish with a couple of apple pieces and a drizzle of caramel.
