- Ingredients for Easy Sunflower Cupcakes
- 1 box spice cake mix
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup all-natural applesauce
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 3 ounces cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Candy corn and gingersnap cookies for garnish
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.
For the frosting, mix the peanut butter, cream cheese, milk and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy, and then spread a thin layer on each cupcake.
Top each cupcake with a gingersnap, and then add candy corn around the cookie.
