Apple Pie Muffins



For Frog Prince's dissertation defense, we made LOTS of muffins.  We tried a new variety of muffins for this event...and they were a hit.

Apple Pie Muffins

2 C flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 C applesauce
1/2 C brown sugar, packed and a little heaping
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
6 medium apples, finely chopped

Topping
1/3 C brown sugar
1/2 C oatmeal
1 tsp. cinnamon


Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl. Then, mix together brown sugar, eggs, vanilla and applesauce.



Add diced apples to the flour mixture, and pour the applesauce mixture into the same mixture.





Stir to moisten the dough.



Fill muffin tins 3/4 of the way full with muffin dough.



Mix together topping of oatmeal, brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, and spoon onto the top of the muffins.




Bake in a pre-heated oven at 375 for 15-20 minutes, until muffins are golden brown.



Allow muffins to cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before removing to cool on a wire wrack.



Enjoy!

  1. Love the addition of applesauce in place of oil! I do that a lot! These look scrumptious and I wish I could reach right in and grab one! :)

  13. I made these on a Thursday night and they were still moist and delicious on Monday. Great snack or breakfast treat. They did soak through the paper liners. Not sure if that was from the apple sauce or for another reason. I just stored them on paper towels in plasticware. Two thumbs up!
