I love a good Apple Crumble, slightly warmed and served with custard; so I thought why not turn one of my favourite dessert’s into a fun sized treat. A apple crumble and custard cupcake!
These Apple Crumble Cupcakes are soft, filled with sweet apples and topped with deliciously smooth custard buttercream and a crunchy crumble. The perfect way to enjoy a classic British dessert in my eyes.
These cupcakes are exceptionally tasty due to the combination of soft, moist and crunchy textures and warm, sweet spiced flavours.
The sweet apple sponges are topped with a smooth custard icing, a dollop of apple sauce and a sprinkle of crunchy crumble. Everything that’s great about apple crumble, all rolled into one perfect cupcake.
I filled the cupcakes with chunks of apple and then baked some crumble to sprinkle on top. Perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon!
