Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1/2 cup granulated sugar. 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed. 2 large eggs. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1 cup applesauce. 1 cup finely chopped apples peeled and cored.

Instructions: Warm your oven up to 350 F 175C and put paper liners in a cupcake tin.
