  • ¼ cups Butter, Softened
  • 2 Tablespoons Amaretto
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 whole Egg
  • ½ cups Reduced Fat Sour Cream

  • 2 Tablespoons All-purpose Flour

  • 2 Tablespoons Butter, Chilled
  • 2 Tablespoons Sliced Almonds (optional)
  • _____
  • GLAZE
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 4 teaspoons 2% Reduced Fat Milk

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Place muffin cup liners in 12 muffin cups; coat with cooking spray.
3. Spoon 1 1/2 cups flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk.
4. Combine granulated sugar, cream cheese and 1/4 cup butter in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at high speed until well blended. Add amaretto, vanilla and egg to sugar mixture; beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended.
5. Combine sour cream and 1/4 cup milk in a small bowl; stir with a whisk until well blended.
6. Combine apple and 1 tablespoon flour in a small bowl; toss well.
7. Add flour mixture and sour cream mixture alternately to sugar mixture, beginning and ending with flour. Beat just until blended.
8. Fold in apple mixture with spoon.
9. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups.
10. To prepare the streusel, combine 2 tablespoons flour, brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in 2 tablespoons butter with a pastry blender or fork, until mixture resembles coarse meal; stir in almonds (I omitted them).
11. Sprinkle streusel evenly over cupcakes.
12. Bake at 350 degrees for 27 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
13. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes on a wire rack and remove the cupcakes from the pan.
14. To prepare glaze, combine powdered sugar and 4 teaspoons milk in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk.
15. Drizzle glaze over cupcakes.
