For preparing a cupcake is better suited sour or sour-sweet apples durum.

They need to be cleaned, cut into large pieces and saute until soft. Depending on the apples themselves time can vary. Some after a couple of minutes turn into mashed potatoes, other cooked half an hour, and still remain solid. In this case, simmer only until tender. Simmer without sugar!

The separated liquid to drain (or drink) the way of water and bigger you can take. In this case, get easy Apple compote. The apples turn into a puree. Need 200 ml of the puree. Already and whisk with sugar. What the brown sugar would give the cake a caramel flavour. I used the already proven unrefined cane sugar TM "Mistral".

Now to the oil. The pan heat well and put 50 g of butter. But only naturalnogo creamy. Margarine and spread will not work. The butter will begin to melt. Turn down the heat.

And keep on very slow heat until the butter does not darken or acquire a nutty flavour. The main thing is not to overdo. I have heat at 1 division from the 6 available. The process is very similar to the preparation of ghee.

Pour oil to applesauce. Beat. Cool and break in Apple-oil mixture with the egg. Beat again.

Sift flour with soda and salt. And, adding flour to the liquid part, knead the dough. It should be like thick cream. If it turns out too thick, you can add the remaining applesauce. So the apples and stewed with stock. Flour and egg-size can be different. Minus the water content in oil, which will evaporate when heated. The flour can take only whole wheat, just the usual, or in different proportions, according to taste. If the smell of baking soda in baked goods did not like the fact that in liquid mass, add 1 tsp lemon juice or vinegar. You can also use various spices: cinnamon, vanilla, cloves, nutmeg and so on. is a good choice. But without them, the cupcake turns fragrant.

Put the dough into the prepared pan. Flatten. Bake at 160-170 degrees for about 45 minutes. If the crust gets burnt, but the cake is still not cooked, cover with foil and bake until tender.
