  • Inventory and kitchen appliances: container for mixing ingredients, whisk or mixer, spoon, sieve, grater, silicone spatula (optional), baking tins, oven, microwave (optional).

Necessary products

In order to prepare a simple, but very tender and aromatic cupcake with apples, we need:

Features of the choice of products

To make your baked goods perfect for appearance and taste, you need to pick up the correct variety of apples. Several criteria will help you:

  • The apples should not be too juicy, because when baking, excess moisture from the apples gets into the dough, and it may not bake and burn.
  • It is important that the apples retain their aroma and flavor after being cooked.

Therefore, the most suitable varieties are:

  • Jonathan;
  • Rennet;
  • Honey crisp;
  • Gala;
  • Cortland;
  • Golden Delicious.

It is better to choose sour cream 20%, it will not be liquid, but at the same time it will not be too greasy.

How to make an apple cupcake: a step by step recipe

To make it easier to make apple muffins, you are presented with step by step recipe with photo.
First you need to melt butter... This can be done on the stove or in the microwave.

Make sure that the butter does not boil while melting.

Eggs at room temperature must be beaten with a mixer or whisk until fluffy.

Pour in all the sugar and beat again with a mixer. The mass should lighten and become thicker.

Then add the sour cream and beat for about 2 minutes.
Flour can be sieved in advance or directly into a container to the resulting mass. Soda must be quenched with vinegar and sprinkled on top of the flour. Then beat the dough thoroughly with a mixer.

Now let's add the melted butter. Make sure it is not hot. Beat for about 1-2 minutes more.

This is such a tender and airy dough.

To prevent the dough from drying out, cover the container with cling film or a plastic bag. And leave for a while at room temperature while you prepare the apples.
In order for the apples to be sent to the dough, they must be well washed and peeled. Now you should grate them on a coarse grater.

To keep the apples from darkening, but to remain light and beautiful in appearance in a grated state, sprinkle them lemon juice.
We send apples to ready dough and mix thoroughly. Here is such a mass, ready for baking, you should get it.

As for the molds, you can use any cupcake molds: steel, silicone or paper. I use paper molds today. They are very convenient in the sense that they do not need to be washed and oiled. Also, this pastry looks very elegant and impressive in tins, which have a variety of colors and patterns.
But there is one nuance in baking this dessert in paper forms.

Baking tins should be placed in an additional silicone or steel support so that the baked goods do not lose their shape and do not spread throughout the oven.

Let's move on to filling the baking dish with dough. It is necessary to fill the mold 2/3 of the height, because the cupcakes will rise during the baking process.

We send our blanks to an oven preheated to 170 degrees. You need to bake the muffins for at least 20 minutes. Since all ovens have their own characteristics, after 20 minutes, you need to open the door a little and check the baked goods for readiness by piercing them with a wooden skewer. If the skewer comes out dry, this is a sign of the readiness of the dessert, if it is wet, then you should leave the baked goods in the oven for a certain time.
These are such airy and beautiful cupcakes in the end should turn out.

As you can see, they have a delicate golden crust, not wet at all, but moist and delicate in taste.

How beautiful to arrange and serve a cupcake

You can use a wide variety of techniques and recipes to decorate baked goods. For example, it will turn out very tasty if you pour the cooked muffins with melted chocolate or caramel.

Also, an uncomplicated way of decorating is whipped cream, cream cheese or butter cream.

There is a huge selection of dressings and sugar decorations for baking. You can also garnish with fresh or frozen fruit or cocktail cherries.
Candied fruits, nuts, colored dragee store - all this will be an excellent decoration for your baking.
The most in a simple way decoration is powdered sugar or coconut.

One of the most common dishes for morning or evening tea is muffins. We often cook them to satisfy a slight hunger during lunch in the office, but even the perfect treat becomes boring and no longer gives the pleasant feeling of fullness. Common situation? I found an excellent way out: to cook not ordinary muffins, but with various fillings, and this was helped by my friend, a famous handyman and an experienced home cook.

Today I will teach you how to cook a delicious and fragrant cake with apples, which differs from analogues in its simplicity and high speed of preparation, and does not require any special cooking skills.

Kitchen appliances

Pick up:

  • a form for muffins or muffins is round, with a hole in the middle, or several small molds;
  • tablespoons and teaspoons;
  • deep bowls with a capacity of 200 to 800 ml;
  • metal rim;
  • sieve;
  • kitchen scales or other volumetric dishes;
  • plastic bag;
  • rolling pin (wooden);
  • fine grater;
  • wooden spatula.

Among other things, it will be better if you have a blender or mixer available - without it necessary equipment your dough will be very difficult to knead properly.

Did you know? Previously, I only baked cupcakes in the good old iron mold inherited from my ancestors, but now it would be foolish not to use the achievements in the field of kitchen appliances: if possible, always choose only silicone molds for cupcakes.

You will need:

Important! You will get the best apple muffin if you do not pick apples that are too soft, slightly rotten - for this recipe it is preferable to use hard varieties with ripe and firm pulp.

Training


Did you know? Since most housewives in our country have at their disposal only one sieve of the "sieve" type, I suggest sifting the flour through one sieve, but only at least 3 times. This will make your cake batter more airy and more oxygenated.

Dough


Bakery products


Ready! Your wonderful pastries can be immediately put on the table, but it is best to come up with some special decoration, and not just sprinkle the product with ordinary powdered sugar (although this is a great option for those in a hurry). A friend of mine arranges entire pieces of art on the surface of her cupcakes, but I prefer to simplify the process a little so as not to spend too much time in the kitchen. Below is my mom's cupcake design.

Apple cupcake decoration

  2. Place the second in a plastic bag and crush it into pieces with a rolling pin.
  3. Pour condensed milk onto the surface of the warm cake.

Reduce the speed of the mixer and add the sifted flour mixed with salt and baking powder in small portions. We knead the smooth dough, it comes out fluffy, voluminous and does not drip from the whisk at all.

Add randomly chopped and medium-sized apples, mix gently with a spoon

and put it in a heat-resistant form, which, if necessary, we grease in advance. Fill no more than 2/3 in height and slightly flatten the top.
