APPLE CUPCAKES WITH CINNAMON-MARSHMALLOW FROSTING
From EatingWell: September/October 2009: Shredded apple replaces some of the oil and keeps the cake moist in these cinnamon-spiked cupcakes. There is a generous amount of fluffy marshmallow frosting to mound or pipe on top for a festive look. Be sure to frost them right after you make the frosting-it stiffens as it stands and becomes more difficult to spread.
