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.

Happy birthday to my husband, Eric! He turns 45 today. I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami. I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno. We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders. I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!
