Instructions

Prepare the apple filling by cooking diced apples with sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, salt, and flour until tender.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
Mix dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a bowl.
In another bowl, cream room temperature butter with sugar until fluffy; add eggs and vanilla.
Combine wet and dry ingredients alternately with milk until just mixed.
Fill cupcake liners halfway with batter, top with apple filling, then cover with more batter.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool completely before topping with stabilized whipped cream.
