Instructions

Prepare the apple filling by cooking diced apples with sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and butter until softened.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
Make the cupcake batter by creaming butter and sugar, then adding eggs and mixing in dry ingredients alternately with milk.
Fill each liner halfway with batter, add a spoonful of apple filling, then top with more batter.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
For the topping, whip cream cheese with sugar, then add heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Frost cooled cupcakes generously.
