National Cupcake Day spokesperson Kristina Matisic shares a recipe for pupcakes, a dessert for your dog.

Ingredients:

- 2¾ cups water
- ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla
- 4 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup dried apple pieces (you can also use fresh fruit)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 egg, beaten
- 4 tablespoons honey

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°. Spray cupcake tin with cooking spray. Mix wet ingredients thoroughly. Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients slowly, scraping well to make sure no dry mixture is left. Pour into cupcake tins. Bake for 30 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the centre and if it comes out dry, they are done. Cool completely and serve. Store in a sealed container. Makes 12-14 cupcakes.
