Preparation
- Preheat oven to 160°C (325°F).
- In a medium saucepan, cook the apple, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and the juice of half a lemon until soft and fragrant.
- Mash until the mix resembles a paste. Let cool.
- Cream the butter and brown sugar with a hand mixer in a large bowl, smoothing out with a wooden spoon if needed.
- Sift in the flour, cornflour, baking powder, cinnamon, and ground cloves and mix until incorporated.
- Add one of the eggs and mix in. Repeat twice until all three eggs are fully incorporated to make the batter. Fold in the apple mixture.
- Pour cupcake mix into a muffin tin lined with cupcake cases. Fill about halfway. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Let cool.
- In a small bowl, rub the flour, oats, brown sugar, and butter together with your fingers until you have a crumble. Transfer to a small tin and toast under the grill for 5-10 minutes until golden brown.
- Top the cupcakes with whipped cream and the crumble mix.
- Enjoy!
