This is a delicious, wholesome snack with apples, oranges along with the fall spices of nutmeg and cinnamon. It helps you keep the chill away and makes you want more during those evening tea time snacks! At the same time, it keeps the guilt of frosting and sugar and oh, those dreaded calories, but it still tastes great! I often use whole wheat to make it even healthier.

The cupcakes will tan a bit after a cooling. This has been made with Whole Wheat and hence has the pink/orange tint to the cupcake. Can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 4-5 days.
Instinct factor
Don’t be intimated – go for it! Feel the sponge in the cupcake by pressing it a bit and enjoy watching it bounce back!
Feel factor
