In a medium bowl, add the applesauce, vanilla sugar, sugar, and salt. Whisk until the sugar is dissolve. Add the cornstarch, mix well.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, add non-dairy milk and bring it up to a scald. You should see bubbling around the edges of the pan.

Step 4

Pour the mixture into a bowl, press plastic wrap onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Allow to cool to room temperature.

Step 5

To a large bowl, add room temperature margarine. Use a hand mixer on medium-high speed and beat until fluffy and light in color ~8 minutes.

Step 6

Add the cooled applesauce mixture to the margarine in 3 batches, mixing well with each addition and scraping the sides of the bowl.

Pipe on to cupcakes using a 1M tip for easy and lovely rosettes.
