For those that do Weight Watchers I entered this in their Recipe Builder and they’re 5 points per cupcake.
These are WONDERFUL! I’m new to baking outside the box (the Betty Crocker box LOL) so this was one of my first “scratch” recipes and it was heaven! It made my day when someone told me “Tastes like something you’d get at Starbucks”.
They were easy to make and they really taste wonderful!

- CUPCAKES
Beat the butter and sugar in a bowl until pale and creamy, then gradually beat in the egg. Stir in the sour cream. Combine the flour, baking soda and cinnamon and sift into the mixture. Fold in, along with the apple.
Spoon the mixture into the paper liners and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes until risen and golden and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
ICING
To decorate, put the sour cream and sugar in a bowl and beat together for about 1 minute until smooth and creamy. Add a little more sugar if the frosting is not thick enough. Stir in the lemon juice. Spoon the frosting on top of the cupcakes and top each one with two or three blackberries.
