Have you ever tried cardamom? It seems to work better in frosting than cinnamon - holds its own against the sugar without overpowering everything else (I always feel like cinnamon either gets lost or takes over). I once made a maple bourbon frosting that would probably work really well on an applesauce spice cupcake, if you're feeling particularly decadent.
