How to Make Apple Streusel Cinnamon Swirl Cupcakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. **Make the cinnamon sugar:** In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. **Prepare the apple mixture:** In a separate small bowl, gently toss 1 ½ cups grated apple with 1 tablespoon of the cinnamon sugar mixture. Set aside.
  4. **Make the cupcake batter:** In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add 2 large eggs, ⅓ cup vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the reserved apple mixture.
  7. Fill each cupcake liner about ⅔ full with batter.
  8. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the remaining cinnamon sugar over the batter in each liner.
  9. Top with remaining batter, filling each liner almost to the top.
  10. Lightly brush the tops of the cupcakes with 2 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter.
  11. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar over the buttered tops.
  12. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  13. Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
