Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
• 2 Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 1 cup Apples (peeled, cored, and finely diced)
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar (for cinnamon swirl)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for cinnamon swirl)
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour (for streusel)
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar (for streusel)
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for streusel)
• 0.25 cup Cold unsalted butter (cubed, for streusel)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup cupcake tin with liners.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

Step 3

Add the softened butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth and no lumps remain.

Step 4

Fold in the diced apples gently, ensuring an even distribution throughout the batter.

Step 5

In a small bowl, prepare the cinnamon swirl by mixing the brown sugar (for the swirl) and ground cinnamon (for the swirl). Set aside.

Step 6

In another bowl, prepare the streusel by combining the all-purpose flour (for streusel), brown sugar (for streusel), ground cinnamon (for streusel), and cold cubed butter. Use a fork or your fingers to crumble them together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.

Step 7

Fill each cupcake liner halfway with the batter. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon swirl mixture over the batter in each cup, then top with more batter to fill each liner about 3/4 of the way.

Step 8

Sprinkle the prepared streusel topping evenly over the top of each cupcake.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Step 11

Serve as is or with a dusting of powdered sugar for added sweetness. Enjoy!
