I do not have cinnamon applesauce....just plain. Can I add some cinnamon spice to the batter, if so how much?

Hi Connie, for a 1/2 cup of applesauce try adding 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon. You can always increase the amount if you don't think it is enough. Thanks for your question :)

Please keep those of us who live in smaller quarters & don't have (& don't have room for) things like Stand Mixers or Food Processors etc. It's just the 2 of us & we have to keep things very simple. In general, I do enjoy your recipes

I have cooked several of your recipes and think they are very good. Nice to have good recipes for just 2 so there isn't piles of leftovers and can cook something different all the time.
