Everyone's favorite childhood flavors combine deliciously in these rich, moist mini cupcakes that take just 15 minutes to make. These nostalgic treats are sure to fly off the plate at your next party, gathering, or even snack time. The powdered peanut butter provides an intense peanutty flavor—mixing it with water helps distribute that flavor throughout the batter—while the unsweetened applesauce contributes moisture lighten the recipe without the added oil or butter. You can use whatever variety of jam or jelly that you prefer for these cupcakes, but grape and strawberry are two classic and well-loved options to try.
