My mom baked these often when I was younger. They are easy to prepare and require only pantry staples. These light and fluffy Applesauce Muffins are the perfect dessert when served warm on a chilly evening.

Those muffins sound great. I did an inventory in my head as I read the recipe. I think I can make these tomorrow!! Woo hoo. My daughter will love helping me make them… AND EATING THEM. So glad you joined us for Tempt My Tummy Tuesday, today. I hope you join us again, anytime.
Yummy! Might have to make these as a breakfast meeting treat.
SnoWhite,
They would be perfect for a breakfast meeting. Sweet, but not too sweet and small enough that they are easy to eat. I hope you like them!

Thanks for sharing this recipe at The Grocery Cart Challenge. I had some applesauce that I didn’t want to waste and all the ingredients in my cupboard so I tried this recipe this evening. Turned out great. We’ll enjoy these muffins this week.
Rena,
Yeah! I’m so glad this recipe worked for your family!
