Apple Cinnamon Muffins Recipe

Those little packets of muffin mixes at the grocery are just so simple; but with a little prep, you can have homemade versions in your pantry! Cinnamon, Cloves and Allspice combine with tasty canned applesauce in this easy recipe for fresh homemade muffins.

Ingredients

• 1 cup

  sugar

• 2 cups

  flour

• 1 teaspoon

  Ceylon Cinnamon

• 1 teaspoon

  Ground Allspice

• 1/2 teaspoon

  Ground Cloves

• 1/2 cup

  butter, melted (that’s one stick)

• 1

  egg

• 1 teaspoon

  vanilla extract

• 1 cup

  applesauce (that’s two snack pack sizes)

Directions

Label each large freezer bag with the wet ingredients, and baking instructions. Fill each bag with 1 cup of sugar, 2 cups of flour, and 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Add the 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of allspice, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cloves to each bag. Carefully close the top and shake to mix. Open and press out any air. Store in your pantry for up to six months.

When you are ready to prepare, melt the butter in a medium size bowl. Add the applesauce, vanilla, and egg. Mix until incorporated. Add to a large bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, batter will be lumpy.

Pre-heat the oven to 350-degrees. Grease a muffin tray and scoop the batter in until half-full. Bake for 17-20 minutes until puffed up and browned. Insert a cake tester into a couple muffins to ensure doneness. Serve up immediately!
