Fresh Apple Cupcake

My aunt loves this.. I guess it appeal more the older people cost it's not like those very sweet cupcake/cake? I had leftover apples that I don't really like because it's not those crunchy type... The apples were like more soft and fibrous though a bit crunchy.. If you know what I'm talking about.. I don't really know how to explain.. Hence, I knew I had to do something with it before it goes to the wastebin.. Hmm.. Thank you Wafi for helping me with this cupcake..

Fresh Apple Cake/Cupcake (taken from http://wowroses.blogspot.com/)
(one recipe can make a 9x13" cake and approx 16 cupcakes)
(my comments in red)


Cake:
1/2 cup butter, softened
(1 stick /~110g)
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
(I prefer light brown sugar so that the batter will not be so dark)
2 eggs
2 1/2 cup flour
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup milk
2 cups peeled, cored and cubed apples
(I usually used a bit more...)

Topping:
5 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup flour
2 tsp cinnamon

1. Preheat the oven to 350 deg F (~170 deg cel). Grease and flour a 9x13" pan.

2. Peel the apples and cut them into small cubes. Feel free to make them as big or small as you want.

3. In a large bowl, mix together the butter and sugars.

4. Add the eggs, vanilla and milk. (The mixture will look a bit funky, like vomit but don't worry.. it will be okay once you add the flour).

5. Mix in the baking powder, soda, salt and cinnamon. Then stir in the flour. ( I usually sift all the dry ingredients together first).

6. Fold in the apples. Pour into prepared pan. Try not to eat the batter with a spoon... (I don't know why but I never try it before..:P) (oh yeah.. only 2/3 fill the cupcake liners if you're doing cupcake version)

7. For the topping, in the same bowl.. or a clean one, add the butter, flour, sugar and cinnamon. With a fork or pastry cutter, roughly cut it all together.

8. Evenly spread it over the cake batter.

9. Bake for 35-40 min, until a toothpick comes out clean. (~20-25 min for cupcake size)

~So.. Maybe...
Are you gonna be the one that saves me~
