APPLESAUCE SPICE CUPCAKES
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. :)
