I began making these moist cupcakes in grade school and still bake them today.
Prep: 15 min.
Bake: 25 min. + cooling
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, 
beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine dry 
ingredients; add to creamed mixture alternately with applesauce.
Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 350F 
for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out 
clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack. Frost 
cooled cupcakes.

Review: I thought that this recipe was very good! I was able to get 
15 cupcakes out of this recipe!
Review: I just made a couple of changes: used 1/4 tsp of nutmeg and 
cut out the cloves (Makes them bitter.) Added a chopped apple and a 
tablespoon of balsamic vinegar - they were superb! Thanks for a great recipe.
Review: I thought they were delicious, didnt even frost them. I also 
left out the cloves and nutmeg
