Ingredients

MUFFIN INGREDIENTS

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ cup applesauce, unsweetened or sweetened if that's all you have
1 egg
¼ cup milk 2% or whole
3 Tablespoons oil
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups Bisquick
½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans, unsalted (optional)

CINNAMON SUGAR TOPPING INGREDIENTS

2 Tablespoons melted butter, salted
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400F. Spray muffin tins or paper liners with non-stick to keep muffins from sticking.
Add the cinnamon, sugar, applesauce, egg, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to a large bowl and blend with a whisk. Then add Bisquick (and nuts if using) and blend well.
Fill muffin cups ⅔ full and bake for 10-11 minutes or until wooden toothpick inserted into muffin comes out clean.
Remove muffins from oven.
Mix the cinnamon-sugar topping and sprinkle on top of muffins.

PREPARE CINNAMON-SUGAR TOPPING

Mix the cinnamon and sugar together in a small bowl. Brush muffin tops with melted butter. Sprinkle muffin tops with cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Notes

How to Serve these Applesauce Cinnamon Muffins: I like to slice a hot muffin in half and put a pat of butter inside for a little extra richness. For day-old muffins, slice one in half and toast it. Then spread some cream cheese on both halves. Apple butter would also be a nice addition. Mmm, the possibilities are endless!

Storing and Reheating: If you have leftover cinnamon applesauce muffins, store them at room temperature for up to 3 days in an airtight container. You can also freeze muffins for up to 3 months if you wrap them tightly in aluminum foil or place them in plastic freezer bags. To serve, defrost for at least an hour. Split in half and toast in the oven to get them nice and warm again!
