Preparation Steps
1
First, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) so it reaches the desired temperature while you prepare the batter.
2
Whisk the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy. You can use a whisk or an electric mixer.
3
Add the oil and vanilla sugar, then mix well.
4
Peel the apple and dice it into small cubes. The apple adds moisture and freshness to the cupcakes.
5
In a bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. You can add the dry ingredients without sifting, but sifting helps to avoid lumps.
6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, mixing continuously until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.
7
Finally, gently fold in the diced apple. It's best to do this by hand or with a wooden spoon.
8
Divide the batter into muffin tins. Fill them about 2/3 full to allow room for rising.
9
Bake the cupcakes for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. They are done when the tops are slightly raised and golden brown.
10
Let the cupcakes cool in the tins, then serve. If you like, you can decorate them with a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar or a dollop of cream on top.
