While shopping I came across this new topping. It contains cinnamon apple pieces, raisins and chocolate pieces. I didn't really have a plan for it but I love cinnamon and apple especially at this time of year.
After looking through some cupcake books, I decided on trying the topping on top of apple and cinnamon muffins (of course). The cupcake cases used were some British Bake off ones that I found in TKMaxx.
I doubled up the recipe as it only makes 6, not a lot in my eyes. So the first step is to mix wholemeal flour, plain flour, cinnamon and baking powder in a bowl.
Then stir in the sugar and chopped apple/s ( I used 1 large cooking apple as that was what was available although the recipe says 2 small eating apples).
Once this is done, mix together melted butter, beaten egg and milk, before adding this to the dry ingredients and stirring until just combined.
Then carefully divide the mixture between the cupcake cases.
I topped half of my muffins with the cinnamon apple topping and then top the rest with the recipe topping. Crush brown sugar cubes and mix with cinnamon before sprinkling over the tops of the cupcakes. They then need to cook in the oven preheated to 200oC for 20-25 minutes.
And the finished product....
I think I prefer the cinnamon sugar topping to be honest. The raisins seemed to catch slightly while cooking. I may try using this topping actually within a muffin next time.
