Ingredients

2 cups sugar
1 cup applesauce
4 large eggs
1 cup pumpkin puree
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°. Fill a muffin tin with haloween-themed cupcake papers.
In a large bowl, combine the sugar, applesauce, eggs, and pumpkin puree. Mix until combined.
In a smaller bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spice.
Slowly add the flour mixture to the pumpkin/ applesauce mixture. Mix thoroughly.
Pour about 1/3 cup of batter into each cupcake paper.
Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes.
Place on a cooling rack and let cool completely before frosting. I really like cream cheese frosting with this recipe, but buttercream works as well.
Decorate with your choice of holiday-themed sprinkles! I love this decorating mix by Wilton.
