Method
1. For the cake mixture: Preheat the oven to 155°C / fan 135°C / gas mark 2.5.2. Add the flour, sugar, butter, eggs and cinnamon to a mixing bowl and beat until combined. Stir in the dried apple pieces until the batter is a custard-like consistency.
3. Divide into 12 cupcake cases. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and the sponge is slightly springy to the touch. Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely.
4. Use an apple corer or teaspoon to scoop out a well in the middle of each cupcake and spoon a little dulce de leche into each cupcake.
5. For the buttercream topping: Place butter and sugar into a bowl and mix until combined. Add vanilla and food colouring, then the milk a little at a time. Beat until light and fluffy in texture. Swirl onto the cupcakes using the back of a spoon.
6. For the decorations: Gently press the sweets onto the buttercream. Leave to set then serve.
