This is a TOH recipe. I've had it for several years now. This recipe makes great snack muffins for the little kiddos. It reminds me more of a quick bread than something cakey. These freeze very well. The original recipe calls for cream cheese frosting. I however have never added the frosting. The kiddos don't even notice. :)

Tips:

Use fresh apples: Fresh apples provide the best flavor and texture for applesauce cupcakes. Choose firm, ripe apples that are free of bruises or blemishes.

Make your own applesauce: Homemade applesauce is easy to make and ensures that you get the best flavor and texture in your cupcakes. You can use any type of apples you like, but Granny Smith apples are a good choice because they hold their shape well when cooked.

Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cupcakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.

Use a cupcake liner: Cupcake liners help the cupcakes keep their shape and make them easier to remove from the pan.

Don't overfill the cupcake liners: Fill the cupcake liners no more than 2/3 full. This will help prevent the cupcakes from overflowing.

Bake the cupcakes at the right temperature: The cupcakes should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting: Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.

Store the cupcakes properly: Store the cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Conclusion:

Applesauce spice cupcakes are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your cupcakes turn out perfect every time.
