  • 1 Cups Applesauce
  • 1 Cup Light Brown Sugar
  • ½ Cup Butter melted and cooled
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 3 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon 1 teaspoon reserved for cinnamon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
  • ¼ Cup Sugar mixed with 1 teaspoon cinnamon for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
  • Grease or line 24 muffin tins with paper liners and set aside.
