24 servings

  • 1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup Mott's® Natural Applesauce
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons milk, or as needed
  • Chopped pecans for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) or to temperature indicated on cake mix package. Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.
  • Pour cake mix into bowl and add 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Prepare cake batter (with vegetable oil and eggs) according to package directions.
  • Fill muffin cups 2/3 full, and bake according to package directions (typically 18 to 21 minutes) or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of a cupcake comes out clean.
  • Remove muffin pans from the oven, and allow to cool.
  • Cut a plug about 1-1/2" inches long and 3/4 inch in diameter out of the center of each cupcake. Fill the opening with about 2 teaspoons applesauce or enough to fill hole.
  • Beat together the confectioners' sugar, cinnamon, and milk until mixture can be drizzled. If too thin, add more sugar; if too thick, add more milk. Drizzle icing over top of cupcake. Sprinkle with chopped pecans. Allow icing to dry before serving.
