Instructions

Prepare the apple filling by peeling, coring, and chopping the apples. Cook with light brown sugar, cornflour, cinnamon, and mixed spice over low heat for 10-15 minutes until tender. Allow to cool.
Make the crumble topping by mixing plain flour, light brown sugar, and cinnamon with butter until crumbly. Bake for 10-15 minutes at 180C (375F) until golden.
For the cupcake batter, cream softened butter and light brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, followed by folding in self-raising flour, cinnamon, and mixed spice.
Fill cupcake cases with batter and bake at 160C (350F) for 20-25 minutes until golden.
Core cooled cupcakes and fill with apple mixture. Make buttercream frosting by beating softened butter with icing sugar and cinnamon; add milk to desired consistency.
Frost cupcakes and top with remaining apple filling and crumble.
