Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a 12-hole, 1/3 cup (80ml) muffin pan with paper cases. Combine flour and sugar in a bowl. Make a well in the centre. Add the milk and eggs and stir until just combined. Add butter and stir to combine. Divide the mixture among paper cases. Bake for 20-25 mins or until a skewer inserted in centres comes out clean. Set aside in pan for 5 mins before transferring the cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 2
To make the vanilla buttercream, use an electric mixer to beat the butter in a large bowl until pale and creamy. Add the icing sugar, in batches, and beat until well combined. Add the vanilla and beat to combine.
Step 3
Combine the apple, cinnamon and ginger in a medium bowl. Stir in 2 tbs salted caramel sauce.
Step 4
Use a small sharp knife to cut the top off each cake and reserve. Use a small spoon or melon baller to scoop out the centre of each cake to make a small hole. Fill with apple mixture. Top with the reserved cupcake tops to enclose the filling.
Step 5
Transfer buttercream to a piping bag fitted with 1.5cm fluted nozzle. Pipe buttercream over top of each cupcake. Place in fridge for 10 mins to set. Drizzle with the remaining caramel sauce.
*This recipe requires a cup of our Salted Caramel Sauce.
Recipe tip
COOK. STORE. SAVE.
Use it up: You’ll have canned apple slices left over. Use them to top porridge or serve with yoghurt.
Clever storage: While they’re best enjoyed freshly baked, keep leftover cupcakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
