  4. To Assemble: 1. Fill each cupcake ½ full with batter. Making a shallow indent for the apple filling. 2. Add 1 table spoon of apple mixture in indent of batter. (Goal is to have the batter surrounding the apples.) 3. Top the batter/apple filling with the remaining batter. Leaving ¾ inch of space at top of each cupcake. 4. Sprinkle the crumble mixture over the top of each cupcake. 5. Bake until the topping is golden brown and tester inserted into center comes out clean approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes. 6. Cool cupcakes in pan for about 20 minutes. If I have any of the apple filling left over I warm them up and add to plate when serving.
