APPLESAUCE MUFFINS

Unsweetened applesauce, whole-wheat flour and toasted walnuts make these warmly spiced muffins a wholesome breakfast or afternoon snack. They are best served warm the day they are baked, but since they are made with oil, they will also stay soft and moist for a couple of days in an airtight container on the counter.

Time 40m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon/165 grams granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 large eggs
1 cup/250 grams unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup/105 grams canola or other neutral oil
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
1 cup/128 grams all-purpose flour
1 cup/130 grams whole-wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup/90 grams toasted walnut halves, finely chopped
1 small honeycrisp or other baking apple, peeled and cut into roughly 1/4-inch pieces, about 3/4 cup/80 grams (optional)

Steps:

  • Set a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 350 degrees. Line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper liners. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and remaining 3/4 cup/150 grams sugar until light and foamy.
  • Add the applesauce, oil, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, nutmeg and salt, and whisk to combine.
  • Add the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking powder and baking soda to the bowl. Fold until a few streaks of flour remain, then add two-thirds of the walnuts and all of the chopped apple, if using. Fold until well combined and no streaks of flour remain.
  • Divide the mixture among the 12 liners; they will be almost full to the top. Sprinkle with the remaining one-third of the walnuts and reserved cinnamon sugar.
  • Bake until muffin tops are puffed and golden, and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, 15 to 22 minutes. Let cool slightly before removing from the pan. These are best the day they are made, but will last a day or two on the counter in an airtight container. Alternatively, let the muffins cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container and freeze.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use a combination of sweet and tart apples for the best flavor. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices.
  • Use fresh applesauce: Fresh applesauce provides the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh applesauce, you can use unsweetened store-bought applesauce, but be sure to add a little bit of sugar to taste.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups evenly: Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full. This will help the muffins to rise evenly.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will usually take about 20-25 minutes.
  • Let the muffins cool before serving: Let the muffins cool for at least 5 minutes before serving. This will help them to set and firm up.

Conclusion:

These apple muffins with applesauce are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or breakfast treat. They're perfect for using up leftover applesauce, and they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying treat, give these apple muffins a try!
