About time, I posted a new recipe !
How it all started - with homemade unsweetened apple sauce :)
One of my dear friends has an apple tree in her lovely garden and she was very kind to give me a couple. Can't beat the taste of organic home grown apples :) I didn't know what to do with them as there were a lot of apples. I had read somewhere that we can bake using apple sauce instead of the eggs, so I decided to make an apple sauce and freeze it ! After a couple of weeks (can you believe), I thought of trying out the new substitute that I have never used before. I found an easy recipe on one of the blogs, called Madhuram's Eggless Cooking and put it to the test :) It worked like a magic but I would change a few things to it (although it is a fat free, guilt free cup cake recipe ) to start with.
To make the Applesauce - I used about 6 medium sized apples and used just enough water to soak them, about a cup. Add more if you feel it's very dry. Cook the apples in a pan until the they are soft and properly cooked. Now, puree the apples and you are done !
Recipe for the cupcakes:
1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar ( I'd substitute with a half a cup or maybe 3/4th cup sugar)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup applesauce
2 tablespoons apple-cider vinegar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Method:
Preheat the oven to 350F/180C. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
In another bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients.
Pour the wet mix into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Do not over-mix.
Fill the cupcake liners about tow-thirds full
with batter. Bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick
inserted in the center of the cupcake and comes out clean.
Let the cupcakes cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
