Time 4h

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/2 cup (1 stick or 115g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
2/3 cup (135g) packed light or dark brown sugar (I prefer dark)
1/3 cup (65g) granulated sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1/3 cup (80ml) milk*
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 and 1/2 cups (188g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 large apple, peeled and finely chopped (about 2 cups)*
1/2 cup (1 stick or 115g) unsalted butter
1 cup (200g) packed light or dark brown sugar
1/3 cup (5 Tablespoons; 80ml) heavy cream, divided
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 - 3 cups (240-360g) confectioners' sugar, sifted
optional garnish: salted caramel and apple slices

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners. Line a second pan with 2 liners - this recipe makes about 14 cupcakes. Set aside.
  • Whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together in a medium bowl until combined. Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, until smooth then whisk in the vanilla extract and milk. Set aside.
  • Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a large bowl. Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until combined. The batter will have a few lumps. Fold in the apples.
  • Fill the cupcake liners 3/4 of the way full with batter. Bake for 21-23 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through baking. A toothpick inserted in the center will come out clean when done. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before frosting.
  • While the cupcakes are cooling, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, add brown sugar and 2 Tablespoons of heavy cream. Whisk constantly until sugar has dissolved. Whisk in the salt, then stop whisking as mixture begins to simmer. Simmer without stirring for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool for 30 minutes. With a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat in 2 cups confectioners' sugar and the remaining heavy cream. Slowly add 1/2 - 1 cup more confectioners' sugar until you reach your desired thickness. Add a little cream or milk if you find the frosting too thick. Frost cooled cupcakes and drizzle with salted caramel, if desired.
  • Cover and store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
