Vegan apple cinnamon cupcakes...

[mothwing]

... with apple sauce filling because I loved the different textures in my Blackout muffins so much. They did not turn out as pretty, but they are tasty and the smell is amazing.

I used lordhellebore 's recipe, halved, because I did not want to make as many cupcakes. I also used two apples for both cupcakes and apple sauce partly because I enjoy the rich taste of the apples we bought last week and because they needed eating up.



For the sauce, I used two diced apples, a table spoon of cinnamon and a pinch of ginger. Instead of anything fancy I just eased a spoonful of the stuff into the still warm cupcakes - unfortunately, they collapsed during the process, resulting in the crater look above. I lost track of time half-way through and was scared that I had not baked them enough to boot, so I put them back in for another five minutes in the already cooling oven - now the dough is golden brown and crunchy, but sadly, they remained in their collapsed state.

Crocky loves them, even though I used too much cinnamon in the dough. I'll give them another shot next week.
