Graham with Katie and Gemma  and their Apple and Salted Caramel Cupcakes

Ingredients:

(For the Apple Cakes)

  • 1 cooking apple (cored, peeled and finely diced)
  • 4oz Stork
  • 4oz light brown caster sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 6oz Self Raising flour (sifted)
  • 30-50ml Full fat milk

(For the Salted Caramel Sauce)

  • 80g Granulated Sugar
  • 45g Butter (unsalted)
  • 60ml Double Cream
  • 1tsp Flaked Sea salt

(For the Cream Cheese Frosting)

  • 300g Icing Sugar
  • 50g unsalted butter
  • 125g cream cheese, cold

Directions:

(For the Apple Cakes)

  • Beat together the stork and sugar until mixture is light in colour and smooth in texture.
  • Beat in one egg and half the flour; repeat with the second egg and other half of flour - whisk mixture until you can see lots of small air bubbles.
  • Stir in milk slowly, until mixture runs off the back of your spoon.
  • Stir in the apple pieces.
  • Pre heat the oven to 170 degrees centigrade
  • Prepare your bun or muffin cases and spoon mixture to fill approx. 2/3 of each case.
  • Cook cakes for approximately 17 mins until the cakes are golden brown.
  • Once cakes have cooled using a teaspoon or knife cut out a small section of the middle of each cake.

(For the Salted Caramel Sauce)

  • Place sugar in a pan on a medium heat, stirring constantly. BE PATIENT!
  • Its will start to form lumpy bits and eventually turn into an amber coloured liquid.
  • Once all the lumps have melted, add the butter (will bubble like crazy!)
  • Once fully melted, slowly add the cream (will boil up the sides of the pan) and leave on heat, still stirring, for one minute.
  • Remove from heat and add salt.
  • Allow to stand until cooled (around 20 mins), then spoon into hollowed out section of cakes.
  • Caramel will sink low into the cakes, but just keep topping up until you run out of caramel or they stay full.
  • Allow to completely cool before frosting.

(For the Cream Cheese Frosting)

  • Sift icing sugar into bowl.
  • Carefully mix in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
  • Add the cream cheese and whisk until the mixture becomes smooth and lightens in colour.
  • Pipe onto cupcakes, using piping bag and nozzle of your choice!

EAT!
