Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease or line 24 muffin tins with paper liners and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the applesauce, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs and vanilla extract and whisk to combine. In a separate bowl, add the cinnamon, baking soda and flour and whisk.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and fold together using a rubber spatula until well mixed.
Using an ice cream scoop or a spoon, scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling them about 3/4 of the way full.
Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. In the meantime, mix together 1/4 cup of sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar. Let cool for at least 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
