0.75 cup all-purpose flour
0.5 teaspoon baking powder
0.5 teaspoon baking soda
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

Preparation Steps

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin pan with cupcake papers.
In a medium bowl, use a fork to mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg to the butter and sugar mixture, beating well to combine. Add the applesauce and beat again.
Gradually beat the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients until the batter is completely smooth.
Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake papers, filling each a little over halfway full.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before serving or frosting.
