Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 3/4 cup reserved Heavenly Applesauce or other cinnamon applesauce
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 2/3 cups flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• Topping:
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 3 tbsp butter, melted

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in the applesauce and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. Add to creamed mixture; stir just until moistened.

2. Fill paper-lined mini-muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.

3. For topping, in a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon. Dip tops of warm muffins in melted butter, then in cinnamon sugar. Serve warm.
