FILLING
In a saucepan add butter, brown sugar, sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, cornstarch, and apple slices.
Cook until apples soften and the syrup is thick enough to coat the spoon. Store in a container in the fridge to chill.
CUPCAKES
In a large bowl whisk oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
In a separate bowl mix flour, salt, and baking powder together.
Slowly add in milk and whisk until lumps are gone.
Line a cupcake pan with paper cups. Fill each cup up between ½ to ¾ of the way up.
Bake for 14-16 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Set aside to cool cupcakes.
FROSTING
Whip butter and add powdered sugar. While mixing add in milk, cinnamon, and vanilla.
ASSEMBLY
Cut a small circle out of top of the cupcake. Slant knife so as not to cut too deep. Set top aside. Spoon out some cake to make room for filling.
Fill with cooled apple filling and place the top back on the cupcake.
Pipe a frosting circle on top of cupcake and leave a hole in the center. Place apple filling in the center of the frosting circle.
