These homemade applesauce muffins are soft, fluffy, and lightly spiced with cinnamon. Unsweetened applesauce adds moisture and natural apple flavor, while Pioneer Sugar provides just the right amount of sweetness. They come together with simple pantry ingredients and bake in about 20 minutes, making them an easy choice for breakfast, snacks, or a kid-friendly treat.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, Pioneer Sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this ensures a fluffy texture for your yummy homemade applesauce muffins.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
For a slightly crunchy topping that makes these the perfect applesauce muffins for kids, sprinkle a little extra cinnamon-sugar on top of the batter before placing the tin in the oven.
