A sparkly dusting of cinnamon sugar dresses up homey applesauce muffins, a morning treat you can stir together in just 10 minutes. Though the ingredients in this applesauce muffin recipe are largely staple and pantry items, the combination of apple and walnuts perfumed with vanilla, cinnamon, allspice and cloves gives the resulting muffins a complex spiced flavor. They’re lovely in autumn, after a day of apple picking, but they’re also a great weekday breakfast or lunchbox treat any time you need one.<\/p>\n
Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. In a bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, five to seven minutes. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. Stir in the applesauce. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and spices, then stir that dry mixture into the creamed mixture. Fold in the walnuts, if you’re using them.<\/p>\n Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups three-quarters full. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let the muffins cool in the pan for five minutes before removing them to wire racks. Sprinkle the tops with cinnamon sugar, if desired.<\/p>\n Once they’re cooled, store leftover muffins at room temperature in an airtight container for up to four days, or in the fridge for up to five days.<\/p>\n Yes. Freeze cooled muffins in freezer containers for up to two months. When you’re ready to eat them, thaw them at room temperature or, if desired, microwave each muffin on high for 20 to 30 seconds or until heated through.<\/p>\n Certainly, but do be advised that we’ve tested this recipe using store-bought applesauce. If your applesauce has a thicker or chunkier texture than the almost pourable kind sold in jars, you may need to adjust the texture of your homemade applesauce by adding a splash of water to it before mixing it with your batter.<\/p>\n The more you mix the batter, the more you develop the gluten in the mixture, which means tough muffins. Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl, and whisk the wet ingredients in a separate bowl. Then pour the wet into the dry. Use a silicone spatula or wooden spoon to gently fold and stir the two together until everything is slightly moistened. Resist the urge to stir the mixture enough to smooth out all the lumps\u2014small lumps are fine!<\/p>\n Paper muffin liners make it easy to lift muffins out of the pan without tearing them. Even if you do use liners, add a fine layer of vegetable oil or cooking spray to the top surface of the muffin pan to make muffin removal easier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Cinnamon-sugar-dusted applesauce muffins are the tender, homey treat you can stir together in just 10 minutes.

First, I only wanted a dozen muffins, so I cut it in half. After that, I made it as indicated except I added a small diced apple, plus 1 tsp each of flour and baking powder to the recipe. It was very dry with unincorporated flour. I used homemade applesauce, and it\u2019s possible that (1) I didn\u2019t use enough since I was finishing up an opened pint jar and didn\u2019t measure it or (2) the homemade applesauce wasn\u2019t as \u201cwet\u201d as store bought. So I opened up a second jar and added about a third of it. It still seemed dry, so I added some heavy whipping cream I had in the fridge , probably about a quarter cup. Also, I did not add cinnamon because the homemade applesauce was seasoned with cinnamon. I did add the allspice. With those changes, the muffins came out tasty. Not sure how to rate it, since it\u2019s pretty obvious there are issues with the recipe as written.<\/p> <\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":2,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2024-03-26","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Stephanie154"},"reviewBody":" Good recipe once I modified a bit.

No problem, I thought! I'll use banana to make up the other half cup! Except I only had a half a banana left and that only accounted for 1\/4 cup. No problem! I had a puree pouch of sweet potato and apple baby food. In to the mix it went. And you know what? Not bad at all! Probably not as sweet as the original, but my kids gobbled them up and called them yummy! Thank you for a wonderful recipe -- and for an ADAPTABLE one, ha!
