Alright. I bought some Halloween fun-shaped silicone pans from Aldi and I wanted to use them. I’m not a baker. I could have made beer cheese bread? This seemed easy enough though. No measuring. No fuss. Fall shenanigans good for Halloween or Thanksgiving. These taste like delicious pumpkin rolls.

Three ingredients. OK, four. I used some pumpkin spice. Alright, five if you count the frosting.
Ingredients:
- 1 box (15.25 oz) Yellow Cake Mix
- 1 can (15 oz) Pumpkin
- 1 single-serve cup (4 oz) Unsweetened Applesauce
- A shake or two of Pumpkin Spice
- 1 tub Baker’s Corner Cream Cheese Frosting
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Get your cupcake tins of choice ready, grease, spray, or line ’em if so inclined.
- Dump the cake mix, the can of pumpkin, & the cup of applesauce t into a large bowl.
- Shake on some pumpkin spice and/or cinnamon. Mix it all together. Mix it well.
- Slap that batter into your cupcake thing, go about ¾ fill ’cause it’ll rise.
- Pop the baking sheet into the oven and bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes.
- Pull ;em out & let ’em cool.
- Slather on a generous amount of cream cheese frosting.
Notes:
- I used the silicone cupcake trays, so I put them on a flat backing sheet. Apparently this can extend typical baking time a bit. I started checking at 20 minutes with a knife, and it was still gooey then.
- This would be fine in a cake pan or pie plate or casserole dish or even a loaf pan or two, I bet. I am here for you doing you & using what you’ve got.
- I like pumpkin flavor more than pumpkin spice. Of course, go heavy if that’s your thing.
