Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 cup white sugar; 1/2 cup applesauce; 1/4 cup butter, softened; 2 eggs, separated; 1 tablespoon vanilla extract; 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour; 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/2 (13.5 ounce) can coconut milk; 1 1/4 cups unsweetened shredded coconut

Servings: persons

1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup applesauce
1/4 cup butter, softened
2 eggs, separated
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 (13.5 ounce) can coconut milk
1 1/4 cups unsweetened shredded coconut

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper liners.
2
Mix sugar, applesauce, and butter together in a bowl.
3
Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until medium peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the tip of the peak formed by the egg whites should curl over slightly.
4
Stir egg yolks and vanilla extract into applesauce mixture; fold in egg whites. Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined. Beat coconut milk into batter until smooth, about 1 minute. Beat in shredded coconut for about 30 seconds. Pour batter into the prepared muffin cups.
5
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
