My favourite thing about this recipe is that it is so quick. In just thirty minutes, my boys and I were enjoying the delicious apple-filled cupcakes topped with ice cream. And the little morsels were surprising rich and filling too.

The only alteration I made to the recipe was to use melted butter instead of cold butter. It’s just so much easier to blend with the brown sugar and in my experience, it products results that are just as good.

Overall, this recipe was a great choice for a warm and filling afternoon snack or for an easy dessert. My boys and I all enjoyed the treat and it’s quick enough to whip up that I’ve actually made it a few more times since!
