Once you had your regular batter, add in the cinnamon, nutmeg and dulce de leche
Scoop batter into liner using an ice cream scoop or spoon
Bake according to the time on the box
Take the cupcakes out of the oven and allow them to cool for 10-15 minutes
Filling
In the meantime, prepare your filling by chopping apples into small pieces. Remove the apple skin for faster cooking time
Cook the apples, cinnamon and water on medium heat for about 5-10 minutes. Until the apples are starting to get soft
Remove from stovetop and allow apple mixture to cool
You can make your icing in this time
White Chocolate Vanilla Icing
Using a hand or stand mixer, beat your butter until smooth. Add vanilla and almond extract
Keep mixing, while adding in the melted white chocolate
Next add the sifted icing sugar, 1 cup at a time
Put your mixer up to the high setting and continue to mix for 2-3 minutes until the icing is light and fluffy
Putting it all together!
First start by filling cupcakes with apple cinnamon mixture.
Remove the middle of the cupcake with an icing tip
Scoop in 1 tsp of apple and 1 tsp of dulce de leche
You can cover it back with the piece of cake you removed, or leave it exposed if you are going to ice it
Next ice the cupcakes with a piping bag and wilton 1M tip OR just spread the icing on top and decorate!
Enjoy!
