  • In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. In another bowl, whisk the egg, applesauce and butter; stir into dry ingredients just until combined. Fold in the cranberries.
  • Fill greased or paper lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 350° for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • In a small bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle over cupcakes. Yield: 1 dozen.

  1. Delicious! I used sweetened applesauce because this recipe doesn't say which and that's what i had on hand and left out cranberries as I didn't have any. I will try this without the nutmeg and cinnamon as it was a bit too "spicy" for me. I was looking for a more chocolate flavour at the time. No matter though, I loved them!

I like recipes that use ingredients that are already in my pantry. I won't bother with recipes that include ingredients that I have to hunt down.
