Instructions
Preheat oven to 180C degrees and line 2 12 hole muffin tins with cupcake liners.
Mix up the simple cupcakes adding in the spices until combined well.
Scoop cupcake batter into the liners, filling 3/4 way full
Bake in the oven for 13-15 minutes until golden.
While the cupcakes are baking, make the apple pie filling
Instruction for Apples Pie Topping
Using a medium pot, melt the butter
Stir in the apples, sugar and cinnamon.
Mix in 250ml of the water until combined and cook on a low simmer.
In a small bowl, combine the remaining water with the cornflour, and whisk lightly until smooth.
Add the cornflour mix to the apples and cook 1-2 minutes more, this will thicken the mixture.
Put aside to cool completely.
Frosting Directions:
Add all of the ingredients to your stand mixer and mix on a medium speed.
Continue mixing until the frosting has stiff peaks and then add to a piping bag with a star nozzle.
Decorating Directions:
Pipe the frosting onto the top of the cooled cupcakes. Make sure that the top is flat so that apple pie topping can lay on top easily.
Scoop about 1-2 tbsp of the apple pie filling onto the top of the cupcakes
Enjoy!
