Step-by-Step Instructions for Apple Pie Cupcakes
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your muffin tin by lining it with cupcake liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream the melted butter with both sugars until light and fluffy.
  4. Add in the eggs one at a time, along with the vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients with the whole milk, stirring until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the finely chopped apples into the batter.
  7. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each liner about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake the cupcakes for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. While the cupcakes cool, whip together the cream cheese and powdered sugar.
  10. Once cooled, generously frost each cupcake with the cream cheese frosting.
