Instructions

Prepare the apple filling by cooking diced apples with sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and flour until tender.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.
Mix dry ingredients for the batter, then cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla.
Combine dry ingredients with milk until just mixed; fill each liner halfway with batter.
Top with apple filling and cover with more batter until two-thirds full.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
For the frosting, beat cream cheese until smooth, add sugar, then whip in heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
