  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3 large eggs

  • 3 ounces cream cheese softened
  • ¼ cup creamy peanut butter

Instructions

  • Make the cupcakes according to directions on the package, but use the applesauce in place of the oil, and add the cinnamon for extra flavor.
  • Spoon batter into a muffin tin lined with paper cups, and bake at 350 degrees for about 15 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Let cupcakes cool completely, then frost.
