Homemade Apple Crisp Cupcakes

Apple Crisp Cupcakes with Cinnamon Frosting 

It is super delish and moist cupcakes ever! See below for the recipes I got from some websites (I forgot) I made it about 2 - 3 times and each time I played around with the ingredients to get that perfect texture, I added and also reduced some of the ingredients for my taste. 

This makes about 2 dozen cupcakes:

Cake: 

• Butter, room temp = 1 cup
• White sugar = 1 1/2 cup
• Egg yolks = 8 pcs
• Milk = 3/4 cup
• Vanilla ext. = 1 1/2 cup
• All purpose flour = 2 cups
• Baking powder = 2 tsp
• Salt = 1/2 tsp

• Preheat your oven at 175 Degree Celsius. Sift your dry ingredients (Flour, baking powder and salt) then set aside.
• In a bowl or if you have a stand mixer, cream together the room temp. butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg yolks one at a time and when you are finish add vanilla ext, 
•  Have your dry ingredients and milk close to you, you will be adding them alternatively; flour then milk until you got everything in there and let it mix for a minute or two until everything is well combined. 
• Line your paper cups, this makes a regular size cupcakes of about 2 dozen. Line them in a baking tray. If your have ice cream scoop, use it to transfer the batter, this gives a perfect measurement for each cup. When you are done, bang your tray on the counter a little just so it gets in the same level. 
• Toss your cupcakes in the oven for about 30 minutes, this actually depends on what kind of oven you have. Mine is not the greatest one so it took me up to 30 minutes but you should check from time to time so you don't burn them. Use toothpick or a knife to insert. If it comes out clean, it means your cupcakes is done. 
• Cool them for 30 minutes or so, or just until they are completely cool down.

Cinnamon Frosting: 

• Butter at room temp. = 1/2 cup
• Confectioner sugar = 1/2 cup
• Beaten egg = 1
• Vanilla ext. 1 tsp
• Milk = 2 tbsp
• Cinnamon = 1 tsp
• Honey 1 tsp  

Process: 

• In a bowl, cream butter until soften, add a part of Confection sugar, egg yolks and vanilla ext. Cream together well. Add cinnamon, honey alternatively with milk and the rest of the sugar. Cream them well to the right consistency that you can spread the frosting. For the fluffiness of the frosting, make sure you cream the butter well enough. 

Apple Topping: 

• Fresh Apples - sliced in small cubes = 1 or 2 pcs
• Honey = 1 tsp 
• Cinnamon = 1 tbsp 

• In a bowl, mix all the above ingredients together well and set aside or refrigerator it. 

Crisp Topping: 

• Rolled oats = 1 cup
• Butter chilled and sliced in small cubes = 1/4 cup
• Brown sugar = 1/2 cup

• Pre - Heat your oven at 175 Degree Celsius for 5 minutes. 
• Mix brown sugar, and oat thoroughly, add butter and mix it together with the oat and sugar mixture. 
• Put the mixture onto the baking sheet and spread evenly flat.
• Toss it in your oven and bake quickly for about 10 minutes. Make sure you check constantly to avoid burning. 

Cupcake Assembly: 

• With your cooled off cupcakes, spread or pipping bag some Cinnamon Frosting, top them with Apple Topping and sprinkle some Crisp Topping. 
• Be generous as you'd like. :)

I hope you find this recipe helpful and delicious, I adapted the recipes from many food bloggers and video tutorial on youtube, I mixed and match the ingredients and this is what I have for my perfect Apple Crisp Cupcakes. 

Enjoy! 


This is such a bad picture, but it is the only picture I found of these cupcakes. Please ignore the beer. hehe! :) 

Red Velvet cupcakes w/ Cream cheese frosting

Homemade Red Velvet cupcakes and cream cheese frosting!

Red Velvet is actually my most favorite cupcake! It has that cocoa flavor but the color is red and the texture is so moist! Cream Cheese frosting just makes this cupcake so perfect! So rich, creamy, and cheesy combination! Oh my! ^___^

Cupcakes Ingredients: 

• All purpose flour = 1 1/4 cup
• Cocoa powder = 2 tbsp
• Baking powder = 1/2 tsp
• Baking soda = 1/2 tsp
• Salt = 1/4 tsp
• Unsalted butter, room temp. = 1/2 cup
• White sugar/Baking sugar = 3/4 cup
• Buttermilk = 3/4 cup
• Egg = 1 whole
• Vanilla ext. = 1 tsp
• Red food color = 2 drops

Process: 

• Preheat your oven at 350 degrees
• Mix all of the dry ingredients together in a bowl (This recipe doesn't require hand mixer or stand mixer, if you are not too tired and you need arm exercise. This will be a great one) . Sifting is a must when baking! You want no lumps in your cupcakes, cakes or any baking. Fine sifting is a must! 
• Cream together the butter, sugar until soften. Add egg and vanilla ext. until finely combined. 
• Add your dry ingredient by half and then add half off the buttermilk, mix it well. Add the rest of the dry ingredient and the remaining buttermilk. Mix it for about 3 - 4 minutes until everything is incorporated. 
• Drop one or two of the red food coloring. Before of using food coloring. They stain!
• Line your paper cupcakes in a cupcake mold. This recipe makes about 12 medium size cupcakes.
• Scoop the batter with an ice cream scoop if you have one and if you don't all you need is a spoon. Just make sure you divide them equally so they turn out to a same size. 
• Toss this in the oven and let it bake for about 20 minutes to 22 minutes. This really depends on your oven temperature. Some oven doesn't as long and some take a bit longer. Just get to understand your oven :). 
• You can always check, when the batter rises and it reaches the timing already, just insert a knife or a toothpick in the middle of the cupcakes. If it comes out clean, it means your cupcakes are ready! 
• Take them out from the oven, let them cool completely on a wire rack. 

Cream Cheese frosting: 

• Powder sugar = 2 cups
• Cream cheese (room temp.) = 2 oz
• Unsalted butter, (room temp.) = 2 tbsp
• Milk = 1 tbsp
• Vanilla ext. = 1 tsp

Process: 

• Combine all of the ingredient together, whisk it until it is all well combined like a paste and spreadable. If it is too thick and you can add 1 tsp of milk at a time but don't let it become runny. 
• You can store this in the fridge for later use.
• Pipe some of this frosting onto the cool cupcakes or you can just spread it with a knife. 
• I like my Red Velvet cupcakes with different varieties of fruits. Strawberry is a big hit when I made these cupcakes! 
• Enjoy! :)
