Categories     breakfast, quick breads

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.

Fiber is also known to help regulate blood sugar levels, reducing the risk of diabetes, and promote heart health.
High in Antioxidants
Antioxidants are compounds that protect your body from the harmful effects of free radicals, which can damage your cells and increase your risk of disease. Apples are a rich source of antioxidants, including flavonoids, phenolic acids, and carotenoids. By including apples in your muffin recipe, you get all these antioxidants in a delicious and easy-to-eat form.
May Help Lower Cholesterol
Apples contain pectin, which is a type of fiber that's been shown to help lower cholesterol levels. By adding apples to your muffin recipe, you get a tasty and nutritious snack that can also help improve your heart health.

These muffins are made with apples and applesauce, which provide a sweet and tangy flavor as well as a variety of health benefits. By trying out one of the recipes above, you can enjoy the tasty and nutritious goodness of apple applesauce muffins right in your own home.
Muffins are the perfect treat when you’re looking for something easy to bake and delicious to eat. Apple applesauce muffins are a particular favorite for their moist texture and scrumptious flavor. If you’re planning on baking these muffins, here are valuable tips on how to make the perfect apple applesauce muffins.

1. Use The Right Ingredients

When making apple applesauce muffins, you will need to use the right ingredients to get the perfect muffins. The key ingredients you will need include applesauce, all-purpose flour, eggs, butter, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and sugar. Make sure the flour is fresh and you have enough baking powder to ensure the muffins rise well.
Substitutions
You may decide to substitute some ingredients to make your muffins healthier. For example, replace all-purpose flour with wheat flour, white sugar with brown sugar, and butter with olive oil. Make sure to check the measurements if you decide to substitute the ingredients to avoid compromising the muffins' texture and flavor.

2. Use High-Quality Applesauce

Apple applesauce muffins are named after the applesauce in the recipe, and it is one of the most crucial ingredients. When choosing applesauce, make sure you use high-quality unsweetened applesauce for the best flavor. Avoid applesauce with extra sugars as it can alter the muffins' taste and texture.
Making Your Own Applesauce
You can also make your applesauce by pureeing cooked or raw apples. This method allows you to control the sugar and consistency of the applesauce, resulting in a healthier and flavorful muffin.

3. Properly Mix The Ingredients

If your muffins are dry, tough, or collapsed in the middle, the mixing may be the issue. Mixing is the most critical part of baking any muffin or cake. To make sure your muffins come out perfectly, follow these mixing tips:
Mix Dry And Wet Ingredients Separately
Mix dry ingredients such as flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt separately from wet ingredients like eggs, melted butter, applesauce, and sugar. Whisk the dry ingredients in a medium-sized bowl and cream the butter and sugar in another bowl before adding the wet ingredients.
Don't Overmix
Mixing the ingredients too much can make your muffins dense and heavy. Once you've combined the dry and wet ingredients, mix it until you get a smooth batter. Do not mix beyond that.
Fold In The Applesauce With A Spatula
Fold the applesauce in gently with a spatula, making sure not to overmix or break the muffin's leavening caused by the baking powder.

4. Fill Muffin Cups Correctly

Filling the muffin cups correctly is important when making apple applesauce muffins. Overfilling the cups will cause the muffins to spill and ruin their shape, while under-filling will result in flat and unappetizing muffins.
Use The Correct Size Muffin Cups
Use a standard-size muffin tray and fill each cup using an ice cream scoop. Each muffin cup should be filled almost to the top, leaving a little room to rise when baking.
Using Muffin Liners
Using muffin liners is a great way to prevent the muffins from sticking to the pan, making the cleaning process easier. They also give the muffins a consistent size and shape.

5. Bake At The Right Temperature

Baking the muffins at the correct temperature is essential if you want them to come out perfectly.
Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) at least 15 minutes before baking the muffins. This will ensure that your muffins cook evenly.
Avoid Over-baking
Over-baking the muffins can cause them to get too dry, tough, or burnt. Check the muffins after 15-20 minutes of baking by inserting a toothpick into the center of the muffin. If the toothpick comes out clean, the muffins are done.
Cooling The Muffins
Once the muffins are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool inside the muffin tray for at least five minutes before removing them from the tray. You can enjoy the muffins warm or cold.

Conclusion

Apple applesauce muffins are a delicious treat that's easy to make at home. Follow these tips to make perfect muffins every time, and don't forget to use high-quality ingredients, properly mix the batter, fill the muffin cups correctly, bake at the right temperature, and allow the muffins to cool before serving.
