To me, a good cup of hot spiced cocoa is heavenly, and that's what these chocolate cupcakes remind me of. The drizzled desserts are a budget-friendly finish for any meal. —Shirley A. Glaab, Hattiesburg, Mississippi
Ingredients:
• 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup baking cocoa
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 egg
• 3/4 cup applesauce
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries
• 1 cup confectioners' sugar
• 4-1/2 teaspoons milk
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. In another bowl, whisk the egg, applesauce and butter; stir into dry ingredients just until combined. Fold in the cranberries.
2. Fill greased or paper lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 350° for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
3. In a small bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle over cupcakes.
