Instructions

Prepare the apple filling by sautéing diced apples with sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, salt, butter, and flour until tender.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy; add eggs and vanilla.
Alternate adding dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture until combined.
Fill each cupcake liner halfway with batter; add apple filling on top and cover with more batter.
Bake for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting with stabilized whipped cream.
