Instructions

Prepare the apple filling by cooking diced Granny Smith apples with sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, salt, and flour until soft. Set aside to cool.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
Make the cupcake batter by whisking together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in one bowl. In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until light; add eggs and vanilla. Gradually mix in dry ingredients and milk.
Assemble cupcakes by filling liners halfway with batter, adding apple filling, then topping with more batter.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Prepare whipped cream topping by beating cream cheese with sugar and heavy cream until stiff peaks form; frost cooled cupcakes.
