ingredients

1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 cup Splenda granular
3 egg whites
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 ¹⁄₂ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
¹⁄₂ teaspoon baking powder
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
2 cups fat free sour cream or 2 cups vegan sour cream
1 lemon, juice of

directions

In a mixing bowl, mix apple sauce and splenda. Beat in eggwhites, one at a time.
Add lemon peel, lemon juice, and vanilla; mix well.
Combine dry ingredients; add to apple sauce mixture alternately with sour cream (batter will be thick).
Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups with 1/4 cup of batter. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
For frosting I like to mix maple syrup with some lemon juice and whiskey, and soak bottom of the cup cakes in it, or just use some sugar-free coolwhip.

I cooked half the batch in silicon baking cups and the other half in paper liners. The cupcakes stuck to the paper liners and half was lost to the paper. They came out of the silicon baking cups ok but consistancy was very heavy and gooey (kinda rubbery). The lemon flavor (used the lemon peel from the lemon) was really nice. My Dad is a diabetic and will eat them but don't think I'll make them again.

I do not know what went wrong. They were horrible: not much lemon flavor, the consistency was somewhat gooey even after cooking for more than the recommended time,half of the muffin stuck to the muffin cup liners. This was a big waste of time and ingredients.
