Ingredients for Apple Pie Cupcakes

• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 2 Golden Delicious apples, peeled and diced
• 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon bourbon (or water)
• 1 tablespoon water, plus more if needed
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 sheet refrigerated pie dough
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1 tablespoon coarse sugar
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar

Directions for Apple Pie Cupcakes

1. Make the filling: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the apples, brown sugar, flour, bourbon, water and cinnamon. Cover and cook, stirring often, until the apples are soft and the sauce is thick, about 10 minutes. (Add a splash more water if the apples are sticking.) Remove from the heat; set aside.
2. Make the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with liners. Whisk the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, sour cream, eggs and vanilla in a large bowl. Add the flour mixture and whisk until just combined.
3. Divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds of the way. Bake 12 minutes and remove from the oven. Drop 1 tablespoon of the apple filling on top of each cupcake, then continue baking until the cupcakes are golden around the edges, about 8 more minutes (it¿s OK if they still look a bit wet). Let cool 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer the cupcakes to a rack to cool completely.
4. Make the lattice crusts: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll the pie dough on a cutting board. Cut into 1/4- to 1/2-inch strips and arrange in a lattice pattern. Cut out twelve 2-inch rounds from the lattice using a cookie cutter; place on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with the beaten egg and sprinkle with the coarse sugar. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes. Let cool completely on the baking sheet.
5. Make the frosting: Beat the heavy cream, sour cream and confectioners’ sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, 4 minutes. Spread on the cupcakes; top each with a lattice crust.

• Apple Pie – An apple pie is a pie in which the principal filling ingredient is apple, originated in England. It is often served with whipped cream, ice cream (“apple pie à la mode”), or cheddar cheese. It is generally double-crusted, with pastry both above and below the filling; the upper crust may be solid or latticed (woven of crosswise strips). The bottom crust may be baked separately (“blind”) to prevent it from getting soggy. Deep-dish apple pie often has a top crust only and tarte Tatin is baked with the crust on top, but served with it on the bottom.Apple pie is an unofficial symbol of the United States and one of its signature comfort foods.

• Fruit – In botany, a fruit is the seed-bearing structure in flowering plants that is formed from the ovary after flowering.Fruits are the means by which flowering plants (also known as angiosperms) disseminate their seeds. Edible fruits in particular have long propagated using the movements of humans and animals in a symbiotic relationship that is the means for seed dispersal for the one group and nutrition for the other; in fact, humans and many animals have become dependent on fruits as a source of food. Consequently, fruits account for a substantial fraction of the world’s agricultural output, and some (such as the apple and the pomegranate) have acquired extensive cultural and symbolic meanings.In common language usage, “fruit” normally means the fleshy seed-associated structures (or produce) of plants that typically are sweet or sour and edible in the raw state, such as apples, bananas, grapes, lemons, oranges, and strawberries. In botanical usage, the term “fruit” also includes many structures that are not commonly called “fruits”, such as nuts, bean pods, corn kernels, tomatoes, and wheat grains.

• Dessert – Dessert (/dɪˈzɜːrt/) is a course that concludes a meal. The course consists of sweet foods, such as confections, and possibly a beverage such as dessert wine and liqueur. In some parts of the world, such as much of Central Africa and West Africa, and most parts of China, there is no tradition of a dessert course to conclude a meal.The term dessert can apply to many confections, such as biscuits, cakes, cookies, custards, gelatins, ice creams, pastries, pies, puddings, macaroons, sweet soups, tarts and fruit salad. Fruit is also commonly found in dessert courses because of its naturally occurring sweetness. Some cultures sweeten foods that are more commonly savory to create desserts.
• Cupcake – A cupcake (also British English: fairy cake; Hiberno-English: bun) is a small cake designed to serve one person, which may be baked in a small thin paper or aluminum cup. As with larger cakes, frosting and other cake decorations such as fruit and candy may be applied.
