Agnieszka and I were talking about cupcakes because she loves making them, and I remembered that there are some cupcakes that actually have applesauce in them. There are basically two types of cupcake recipes that use applesauce: ones that you actually MAKE applesauce for from actual apples and ones that you just use applesauce as a substitute for oil, eggs, and/or shortening. Replacing eggs with applesauce can be especially awesome because then you can eat the batter uncooked without worrying about Salmonella.
Here are a few links to cupcake recipes that use applesauce:
