How to Make Applesauce Spice Cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients: applesauce, oil, eggs, sugar, flour, spices, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix thoroughly until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fill each muffin cup about ⅔ full.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cupcakes cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional: Frost cooled cupcakes with your favorite cream cheese frosting. Alternatively, bake in a greased 15x10 inch baking pan for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Frost as desired.
