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!
Applesauce Raisin Muffins are sure delightful to the taste buds.
Applesauce, raisins, cinnamon and allspice spice up these muffins so delectably.
These tasty muffins are just the thing for your morning coffee.
Every bite is so wonderful.
Here’s what I did.
I used these ingredients.
Place unbleached flour in a mixing bowl. (Bleached flour toughens baked goods). Add cinnamon, allspice, and baking soda.
Stir or whisk ingredients to combine.
In a separate bowl, add softened butter and sugar.
Mix with an electric mixer to combine.
Add applesauce and vanilla extract.
Mix ingredients to combine.
Add wet mixture to dry mixture.
Add raisins.
Stir ingredients to combine. Do NOT overmix!
Grease muffin tins. Spoon mixture into muffin tins about 3/4 full.
Bake at 400 degrees for 18 minutes until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool muffins in pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack.
If you enjoy apple and cinnamon flavors, you’ll love these muffins.
Raisins add nice texture to these hearty muffins.
Each batch makes 15 muffins.
These muffins freeze and travel well. They’re excellent for a picnic or snacks for sporting events and practices.
Here’s the recipe.
