If you’re looking for the perfect muffin that’s warm, cozy and impossible to resist – then look no further than these applesauce muffins. They have a delicious apple flavor, fluffy texture, super moist crumb, and crunchy cinnamon sugar on top.
The apple flavor is subtle, and the hint of brown sugar and cinnamon makes them perfect for fall. (Although, I’ll happily eat them any time of year). What I especially love about these applesauce muffins is that they’re never dry. There’s nothing worse than a muffin that’s crumbly or tough in the center. In addition to adding flavor – the applesauce keeps the muffins extra moist. So it’s a total win-win.
I love the cinnamon sugar topping because it gives a delicious crunchy finish, more flavor, and a little visual appeal. Plus – it reminds me of a delicious cinnamon sugar donut.

The cinnamon sugar topping turns them into an extra special treat – and makes for just the right amount of decadence at breakfast
