Recipe: Applesauce Muffins

 

Applesauce Muffins

My daughter, Addie, made these for a special brunch she made for a class project.  They are moist and dense - good with a cup of coffee!  

1 cup butter, softened

2 cups sugar

2 large eggs, room temperature

1 tsp. vanilla extract

2 cups applesauce

4 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

1 tsp. ground allspice

1/4 tsp. ground cloves

1 cup chopped walnuts, optional

Cinnamon-sugar, optional

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes.  Beat in eggs and vanilla.  Stir in applesauce.  Combine flour, baking soda and spices; stir into creamed mixture.  If desired, fold in nuts.

Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups 3/4 full.  Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, 20-25 minutes.  Cool five minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.  If desired, sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar.

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
