Instructions
To make the cupcakes:
- Line your cupcake tray with cupcake cases.
- Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C/ 350°F.
- In a mixing bowl put the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon powder, and salt. Give it a stir until it is all combined. Set aside.
- Then put the yogurt, egg, oil, and vanilla extract in a jug. Lightly beat it until all is mixed. Set aside.
- Peel, core, and grate the apples.
- Next, make a hole in the center of the flour mixture and pour the egg mixture in. Using a whisk or a handheld mixer, whisk the mixture until the batter is thick and smooth.
- Add the grated apple in, and stir the mixture using a spatula until combined.
- Spoon the batter into the cupcake cases and bake for about 15-18 minutes at gas 4, 180°C/ 350°F. Or, until the top springs back when you touch or a skewer comes out clean when you pierce.
To make the frosting:
- Using a whisk or a mixer (stand mixer or handheld mixer), whip the double cream until firm-peak.
- Then in another bowl, mix the cream cheese with the icing sugar and a pinch of salt.
- Using a spatula, add the cheese mixture to the double cream and carefully but quickly mix it until all combined. Take care not to overmix it because it can deflate and be a bit runny. Your mixture will be softer. Put it in the refrigerator for an hour before using it.
Notes
- I often use granny smith apples. But you can always use cooking apples, i.e. Bramley. And I sometimes use eating apples such as red Gala or Pink Lady, they are all good.
- For flavoring, you can use cinnamon only. Though I prefer a combo of cinnamon and vanilla.
