Instructions

Prepare the apple filling by cooking diced apples, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, salt, and flour in butter until tender.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
Mix dry ingredients in one bowl; cream butter and sugar in another. Combine them while adding eggs and milk alternately.
Fill each liner halfway with batter, add a spoonful of apple filling, then top off with more batter.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting with whipped cream.
