- 1/2 cup apple sauce
- 1 1/4 cups (250 grams) sugar
- 1/2 cup (127 grams) brown sugar, packed
- 4 eggs (or 1/4 cup ground flaxseeds combined with 3/4 cup (187 ml) water, for vegan/dairy free)

- about 1 dozen green fruit flavored Tootsie Rolls

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees (165 C). Lightly spray mini pumpkin pan, hemisphere pan, or cupcake pan with nonstick cooking spray with flour, or grease and flour each one; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves; set aside.
In a large bowl, or the bowl of a standing mixer, combine the oil and apple sauce. Stir in the sugars until combined, then add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well between each addition. Stir in the pumpkin until thoroughly combined. Sprinkle about half of the flour mixture over the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Add the remaining flour mixture, and mix just until no streaks of flour remain.
Place 3 tablespoons batter in each mold of a mini pumpkin pan, or 2 tablespoons batter in each mold of a hemisphere or standard cupcake pan.
Bake cakes for 15 to 18 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before filling and assembling.
