Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes

For two of our Thanksgiving meals, I was to bring a dessert. I found this recipe earlier this fall and we all loved it. I tweaked it just a little and have also made it with a cinnamon butter cream frosting instead of the cream cheese frosting. It is super yummy and easy to make!

Pumpkin Cupcakes

1 pkg spice cake mix
¾ cup applesauce
1 can (15oz) pumpkin
¼ cup oil
3 eggs

Icing

1 pkg (8oz) Cream Cheese
¼ cup butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla
1 pkg (16 oz) powdered sugar
1 ½ tsp cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350. Beat first 5 ingredients with mixer until well blended; spoon into 24 paper lined muffin cups. Bake 20-22 min or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 min. Remove from pan & cool completely.
Icing: Beat cream cheese, butter and vanilla in large bowl. Gradually beat in powdered sugar. Blend in cinnamon. Spread over cupcakes.

Yum, Yum!!
