It is the official scent of autumn, and these Apple Crumble Cupcakes capture it perfectly. Imagine a tender, spiced cupcake studded with tiny bits of fresh apple, topped with a generous mound of buttery, crunchy streusel, and finished with a light vanilla drizzle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>These cupcakes solve the biggest problem with apple desserts: the dreaded soggy bottom.

To turn these into apple crumble muffins, simply omit the vanilla drizzle on top. The baking time may remain roughly the same, but start checking for doneness at 18 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I store these cupcakes?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Store any leftover cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Note that the crumble topping will soften slightly over time, which is part of their charm!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I freeze apple crumble cupcakes?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, these freeze well. Freeze the cupcakes without the drizzle. Wrap them individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature, then add the fresh vanilla drizzle before serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do I have to peel the apples?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For the best texture in a cupcake, yes, peeling is recommended. The peel can become chewy and tough in such a small, tender crumb. A peeled apple ensures every bite is smooth and soft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress.cherrychapters.com\/theflavorindex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2026\/03\/hf_20260311_175829_c49f72ed-c850-430a-a7a7-b593e8b5507d-1-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1098\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.goodlighttravel.com\/sites\/17\/2026\/03\/hf_20260311_175829_c49f72ed-c850-430a-a7a7-b593e8b5507d-1-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.goodlighttravel.com\/sites\/17\/2026\/03\/hf_20260311_175829_c49f72ed-c850-430a-a7a7-b593e8b5507d-1-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.goodlighttravel.com\/sites\/17\/2026\/03\/hf_20260311_175829_c49f72ed-c850-430a-a7a7-b593e8b5507d-1-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/cdn.goodlighttravel.com\/sites\/17\/2026\/03\/hf_20260311_175829_c49f72ed-c850-430a-a7a7-b593e8b5507d-1-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.goodlighttravel.com\/sites\/17\/2026\/03\/hf_20260311_175829_c49f72ed-c850-430a-a7a7-b593e8b5507d-1-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.goodlighttravel.com\/sites\/17\/2026\/03\/hf_20260311_175829_c49f72ed-c850-430a-a7a7-b593e8b5507d-1.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All the cozy flavors of apple crumble pie in a perfectly portable cupcake!
