Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
• In a separate bowl, combine applesauce, sugar, apple cider, egg, and oil. Mix well.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
• Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown.
• Let cool completely on baking sheets before frosting.
• For the frosting: Beat together cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until light and fluffy.
• Spread frosting on the bottom of half of the whoopie pies. Top with remaining whoopie pies to create sandwiches.
