Step-by-Step Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
• In a separate bowl, cream the melted butter with both sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy.
• Add the eggs one at a time to your butter-sugar mixture, along with the vanilla extract. Beat each addition until well incorporated.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the whole milk. Mix just until combined.
• Gently fold in the finely chopped apples with a spatula.
• Spoon the batter into your prepared muffin tins, filling each liner about two-thirds full.
• Place your muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18–20 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
• While the cupcakes cool, whip the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
• Once the cupcakes are completely cool, generously frost each cupcake with your creamy mixture.
