Time 1h45m

Yield 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 Golden Delicious apples, peeled and diced
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon bourbon (or water)
1 tablespoon water, plus more if needed
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 sheet refrigerated pie dough
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon coarse sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Make the filling: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the apples, brown sugar, flour, bourbon, water and cinnamon. Cover and cook, stirring often, until the apples are soft and the sauce is thick, about 10 minutes. (Add a splash more water if the apples are sticking.) Remove from the heat; set aside.
  • Make the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with liners. Whisk the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, sour cream, eggs and vanilla in a large bowl. Add the flour mixture and whisk until just combined.
  • Divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds of the way. Bake 12 minutes and remove from the oven. Drop 1 tablespoon of the apple filling on top of each cupcake, then continue baking until the cupcakes are golden around the edges, about 8 more minutes (it¿s OK if they still look a bit wet). Let cool 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer the cupcakes to a rack to cool completely.
  • Make the lattice crusts: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll the pie dough on a cutting board. Cut into 1/4- to 1/2-inch strips and arrange in a lattice pattern. Cut out twelve 2-inch rounds from the lattice using a cookie cutter; place on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with the beaten egg and sprinkle with the coarse sugar. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes. Let cool completely on the baking sheet.
  • Make the frosting: Beat the heavy cream, sour cream and confectioners' sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, 4 minutes. Spread on the cupcakes; top each with a lattice crust.

APPLE PIE CUPCAKES

We borrowed the filling from a favorite holiday pie and baked it on top of a spiced cupcake for these rustic, all-American bites. The tops spread a bit, so use a spoon or a small offset spatula to help lift the cupcakes out of the pan.

Time 2h30m

Yield 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 22

3 medium apples, cored, peeled and cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices
3 tablespoons granulated sugar, plus more for sprinkling
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Large pinch ground cinnamon
Pinch fine salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus melted butter for brushing
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
Cooking spray
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk, plus 1 tablespoon for brushing
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon sour cream
Ground cinnamon, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • For the filling: Toss the apples, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon and salt together in a medium bowl. Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the apples, and cook, stirring frequently, until the apples are tender but still pliable and the liquid is simmering, about 6 minutes. Add the flour, and stir until it dissolves and the liquid thickens. Remove the skillet from the heat, and let the filling cool completely. Divide the filling evenly into 12 little packed mounds; set aside.
  • For the cupcakes: Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, and coat the liners and the top of the tin with cooking spray.
  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt together in a medium bowl. Beat the sugar and eggs in another medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and creamy, about 2 minutes. While continuing to beat, gradually pour in the butter, then add the vanilla. Adjust the mixer to medium-low, and add half the flour mixture. Add the milk, then the remaining flour mixture, taking care not to overmix the batter. It will be thin, like pancake batter; transfer it to a liquid measuring cup to make filling the muffin cup easier.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the cups of the prepared muffin tin. Top each with a mound of apple filling. Bake for 15 minutes (the cupcakes will spread quite a bit). Remove the tin from the oven, gently brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Continue to bake until the tops of the cupcakes, which bake and puff around the apple filling, spring back when pressed, 6 to 8 minutes more. Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
  • For the whipped topping: Beat the cream, confectioners' sugar and sour cream in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until the mixture forms soft peaks. Transfer it to a pastry bag or a resealable plastic bag (snip off the tip). Pipe a dollop of whipped topping onto each cupcake (don't completely hide the cupcake), and sprinkle with cinnamon.

Apple pie ala mode cupcakes are a delicious twist on the traditional apple pie recipe, combined with the beloved cupcake format. These cupcakes are perfect for fall and winter events, or simply as a comforting treat on a chilly day. In this article, we will discuss valuable tips for making apple pie ala mode cupcakes.

Tip 1: Choosing the Right Apples:

The type of apples you use for your apple pie ala mode cupcakes can make a big difference in the flavor of the final product. Choose apples that are firm and crisp so they hold their shape during the baking process. Ideally, choose a mix of sweet and tart varieties for a balanced flavor profile. Some popular apple varieties for baking include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Braeburn, and Jonagold.

Tip 2: Prepping the Apples:

Once you have chosen your apples, it's important to prep them properly for use in your cupcakes. Core and peel the apples, and then slice them thinly so they cook evenly. Toss the apple slices with lemon juice to prevent them from browning.

Tip 3: Creating the Pie Filling:

The pie filling is what gives apple pie ala mode cupcakes their distinct flavor and texture. In a saucepan, combine the sliced apples with sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Cook the mixture over medium heat until the apples are tender and the filling is thickened. Let the filling cool completely before assembling the cupcakes.

Tip 4: Making the Cupcake Batter:

The cupcake batter is what will hold the apple pie filling in place and give the cupcakes their structure. Start by creaming together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk until a smooth batter forms.

Tip 5: Assembling the Cupcakes:

Now that you have your apple pie filling and cupcake batter prepped, it's time to assemble the cupcakes. Spoon a tablespoon of cupcake batter into each cupcake liner, followed by a tablespoon of apple pie filling. Repeat this process until the liners are just over 3/4 full. Bake the cupcakes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Tip 6: Creating the Topping:

To give the cupcakes a true ala mode experience, it's important to create a delicious topping to finish them off. One popular option is to whip together heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Dollop a generous amount of whipped cream onto each cupcake and finish with a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Tip 7: Serving and Storing:

Apple pie ala mode cupcakes are best served at room temperature, or slightly warmed in the oven for a few minutes. Store any leftover cupcakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Conclusion:

By following these valuable tips, you can easily create delicious and decadent apple pie ala mode cupcakes at home. Remember to choose the right apples, prep them properly, create a flavorful pie filling, assemble the cupcakes with care, create a delicious topping, and store them right for maximum enjoyment. Enjoy!
