Applesauce Raisin Muffins
I’ve grown very fond of muffins over the past decade or so. Before then, I never made muffins (and rarely ate them out). But now, I make muffins almost weekly. Whether they have icing or a streusel topping or plain, I enjoy them all! Applesauce Raisin Muffins are heavenly and include cinnamon and allspice along with applesauce and raisins. They’re absolutely delightful and great for breakfast, snacks or even a late night snack!

Some neighbors that live down the street found themselves in difficulty a few months ago. The husband had surgery and the wife slipped on a wet floor and ended up with a concussion and wrenched her wrist. So I volunteered to bring them a meal. I made up a Pork Chop Supper (which included boneless pork chops, potatoes and carrots), an Apple Cheddar Tossed Salad, some homemade bread, and these muffins (for dessert!)
I was completely satisfied with how these lovely vintage muffins turned out. Every bite was scrumptious. The muffins puffed up beautifully when baking and tasted heavenly. If you’re a muffin lover, you’ll enjoy them too!
