Apple Crumble Cinnamon Cupcakes

Easy to make apple crumble cinnamon cupcakes 

By now you should know i’m big on afternoon tea and dessert. perhaps because most of my early cooking experiences we’re baking treats for 4’oclock tea with my Mum and Aunties. Once a week after school mum and I would bake some treats from old cookery books then sit down and enjoy family tea time. Somehow these apple cinnamon cupcakes remind me of those moments. Spiced with my favourite warm cozy spice, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger they are so fluffy, moist and filled with sweet pink lady apples.

Great for afternoon tea or a cheeky breakfast 🙂

Read more about the pink lady photography competition I entered. Participating in the competition and baking these cupcakes brought me out of a sad place and the best thing it taught me was, never stop doing what you love no matter how tough things get, because the joy created doing what you love makes the world a better place.

Enjoy!

Jemutai's TIPS

I used pink lady apples in this recipe because they offer a nice sweet to tart ratio. Feel free to use any apple you like and just keep the dice small.
