APPLESAUCE CINNAMON OAT MUFFINS

Applesauce Cinnamon Oat Muffins image

My grandmother passed this oatmeal muffin recipe down to me, and I'm eager to share it with my children. These down-home oatmeal muffins are tender on the inside and have a crispy topping of oats, brown sugar and cinnamon. I've even added raisins and cranberries to the batter for a different taste. -Hannah Barringer, Loudon, Tennessee
