We like our applesauce muffins topped with a cream-cheese frosting.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Yield Makes 18

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups packed light-brown sugar
4 large eggs
Apple-Cider Applesauce or 1 1/2 cups store-bought applesauce
1 cup toasted pecans, chopped
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, room temperature

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin and a 6-cup tin with paper liners. Sift flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cloves together into a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Put 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, the granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup brown sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cream on medium speed until smooth, about 3 minutes. Mix in eggs, one at a time. On low speed, mix in applesauce and then flour mixture. Stir in nuts by hand.
  • Divide batter among muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Bake until a cake tester inserted in centers comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely in tins on a wire rack.
  • Meanwhile, in the clean bowl of electric mixer, mix cream cheese with remaining 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter and 1 cup brown sugar on medium speed until smooth. Spread cream-cheese frosting on muffins.

Tips:

  • Use ripe applesauce for a sweeter flavor. You can make your own applesauce or use store-bought.
  • If you don't have applesauce, you can substitute mashed bananas or pumpkin puree.
  • Add a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for a warm, autumnal flavor.
  • Chopped nuts, raisins, or cranberries can be added to the batter for extra texture and flavor.
  • For a streusel topping, combine 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 1/4 cup butter in a bowl. Use your fingers to work the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the streusel topping over the muffin batter before baking.
  • Bake the muffins at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

Apple muffins with applesauce are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of moist and flavorful muffins that are perfect for any occasion.
