Large Family Apple Muffins with Applesauce Recipe
Got a plethora of apples and need to make something delicious? These apple muffins are made all the more delicious with the addition of applesauce.
Ingredients
- 8 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 cups 4 sticks butter, softened
- 4 cups sugar
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 cups applesauce
- 2 cup walnuts chopped (more for topping if desired)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Prepare two muffin tins with liners. Spritz liners with nonstick cooking spray.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and cinnamon.
- With an electric mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix just until blended.
- Stir in the applesauce and walnuts (if desired.)
- Scoop batter into muffin liners about ¾ full.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Notes
These muffins freeze really well so I like to double or even triple the recipe for a quick breakfast on busy mornings.
