Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) and line mini-muffin tins with liners.
Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the
All-Purpose Flour (1 2/3 cups)
,
Baking Powder (1 tsp)
,
Baking Soda (1 tsp)
, and
Salt (1/2 tsp)
.
Step 3
In a large bowl, beat the
Butter (1/2 cup)
and
Granulated Sugar (1/2 cup)
on medium-high speed until it is light and fluffy (about 3 minutes). Add the
Large Eggs (2)
, one at a time, and beat until well combined.
Step 4
Add
Unsweetened Apple Sauce (3/4 cup)
,
Pure Vanilla Extract (1 tsp)
,
Ground Cinnamon (1 tsp)
, and
Ground Nutmeg (1/4 tsp)
, and beat just until blended.
Step 5
Add half of the flour mixture at a time to your wet ingredients, whisking or stirring by hand, just until combined; repeat with remaining half of the flour mixture. Be gentle and DON’T OVERMIX your batter!
Step 6
Using a 1 1/2 tablespoon scoop, place batter in muffin liners. This is the easiest way to ensure that each of your mini-muffins will be the same size and bake evenly.
Step 7
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the tops are just starting to turn golden and the top springs back when you touch it lightly with your finger.
Step 8
Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
Step 9
In a separate bowl, stir together the
Ground Cinnamon (1/2 tsp)
and
Granulated Sugar (1/2 cup)
until well combined. Dip each mini-muffin upside down into the
Butter (1/4 cup)
, coating the top evenly. Immediately dip and roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Step 10
Serve these babies warm!
