As an early Christmas present, a lovely person gave me the Hummingbird Bakery Baking book, which I may say is amazing! So before Christmas when work had finished and everyone was doing their last minute shopping, a friend came over and we trialled one of the recipes. Now I know these look like simple buns, however they are apple pie cupcakes and very nice they were too. It was a simple recipe. We made a basic cupcake mix and in another pan the filling of an apple crumble, using Granny Smith apples, butter, sugar and cinnamon. To make these cupcakes, we half filled the cases with cake mix and topped them up with the apple mix. As the apple mix was heavier, it sank into the mixture and they took the same amount of time in the oven as simple cupcakes. We sampled a couple when they were fresh out of the oven and warm, and they were delicious. For a desert at a dinner party, I recommend these, warm, with cold vanilla ice cream, yum! We decorated them with simple water icing and topped them off with Christmas decorations, ginger men, red and green crystals, stars and gold glitter and good old fashioned silver balls.
