Cupcakes:
2
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line standard muffin tins with paper liners. Whisk together flours, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, apple pie spice, nutmeg, and cloves.
3
With an electric mixer on medium-high speed, cream butter and both sugars until pale and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until each is incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Reduce speed to low, add applesauce and then the flour mixture. Beat until just combined.
4
Divide batter evenly among lined cups, filling each three-quarters full. Bake, rotating tins halfway through, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Transfer tins to a wire rack to cool completely before removing cupcakes. Cupcakes can be stored overnight at room temperature, or frozen for up to 2 months in an airtight container.

Frosting:

Using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese, butter, and confectioners' sugar until smooth; beat in vanilla and cinnamon. Top each cupcake with 2 tablespoons of frosting and spread to cover. You can also pipe the frosting onto the tops of the cupcakes.
7
Frosted cupcakes can be refrigerated for up to 3 days in an airtight container; bring to room temperature before serving.
