Scrumptious Applesauce Muffins

Yesterday I was craving apple muffins, but didn't have a recipe that I was totally in love with. And, some perusing online resulted in many recipes, most of which I couldn't make because I didn't have an ingredient (like sour scream), hadn't set butter out to soften, or they just didn't sound that great. So, I sort of amalgamated several recipes into one of my own, and the muffins turned out to be delicious! I thought I would share the recipe with you:

What You Need:

• 1/2 cup oil
• 2 eggs
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 cups unsweetened applesauce (I used some chunky applesauce that I made last fall. It had a lot of cinnamon in it.... if you use plain applesauce, add 1-2 teaspoons of cinnamon to this recipe as well)
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 cups flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• Cinnamon and sugar for dusting

What You Do:

• Preheat oven to 375 F
• Beat oil, eggs and sugar until smooth.
• Add applesauce and vanilla
• Blend in flour, baking powder and baking soda
• Pour into greased muffins tins
• Add a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar to the top of each muffin
• Bake for about 20 minutes
