Applesauce Muffins
"Unfortunately I cannot take credit for these delicious muffins. This came from an old TOH magazine where someone had written in for this muffin recipe that they had tried at a restaurant called Curly Maple Resturaunt. These are perfectly moist and the kids gobble them up."

Just made these. They are so moist and delicious. I will use this recipe from now on. I changed the 1/2 cup of sugar to brown and added I cup of chopped apples. You could add chopped nuts if you desired.They are super good. -
This is a mildly spicy muffin that all loved. I followed the recipe exactly and for me the recipe made more than 12 muffins. Next time I will use two muffin pans. Thanks for posting this lovely recipe with those healthy anti-aging spices. I'll be making it frequently. -
Oh, YUM!! These are fantastic! I made mine with rhubarb sauce instead of applesauce (just rhubarb cooked down with a little bit of sugar) and they turned out terrific! I reduced the sugar to 1 1/4 cups, and think I'd even go to 1 cup next time, since there is sugar in my rhubarb sauce and the muffins were sweet enough. I also omitted the cloves, since I wasn't sure if this would taste as good with the rhubarb. The muffins were moist and tasty. And usually this isn't the case, but I think they were even *better* hours later! I think I'll try making them into a loaf next time. Thanks for a great recipe!

Moist, and yummy. -
These muffins were absolutely fabulous! I added some vanilla flavoring and nutmeg. I made them again this morning and used a cup of sugar and reduced the butter by 3 tablespoons and added 3 more tablespoons of applesauce instead. My DH said they tasted just as good. Oh, I also used one cup wheat flour and one cup white flour.

I am a wife and homeschooling mother of 2 beautiful and rowdy little boys. Recipes have always facinated me and I'll admit that I read more of them than I try. I'm in no way, shape or form a chef. I just enjoy simple down home cooking and comfort foods. We travel all over the country with my husband's job and this has provided a wonderful opportunity to get a "taste" for each region. I have been in 37 states and have enjoyed a little of each one, but Pennsylvania will always be home.
