30 minApplesauce replaces some of the fat in these muffins, creating a tender crumb that stays moist for days.
The batter comes together in minutes by creaming butter and sugar, then folding in the flour just until combined.
Cinnamon warmth balances the subtle apple sweetness without overwhelming the delicate texture.
Pro Tips
- Don’t overmix the batter or muffins will turn tough and dense
- Use unsweetened applesauce to control sugar levels
- Fill muffin cups two-thirds full for perfectly domed tops
- Add chopped walnuts or raisins for texture variation if desired
