Baking with the warm flavors of fall is one of my favorite things to do.  With the season's abundance of pumpkin, apples, cinnamon, pecans, and other warm-and-comforting spices, I'm truly in baking heaven.

Loaded with the flavors of applesauce, cinnamon, allspice, and cloves, it's probably no surprise then that I simply adore these Applesauce Muffins.  As does our entire family!

My Mom started baking Applesauce Muffins years and years and years ago, and they quickly became a family favorite.

Mom likes to tell stories of my little niece eating these muffins when she was 2 years old.  Mom says she would wolf down two of them ~ and then cry for more!  {Sidenote:  My "little" niece is actually just about to head off to her sophomore year of college, so isn't so little anymore.}

Yes, our family-favorite Applesauce Muffins are that good.

Which makes them just perfect for fall breakfasts, brunches, and snacks ... and any other family get-together, for that matter.  

They're especially good for that after-school snack that can never seem to be handed out quickly enough!  With these muffins, after-school snacking can easily be grab-and-go.

Besides their fabulous flavor, do you want to know what else I love about these muffins?  They're freezer friendly.  

I adore recipes that taste great and  provide make-ahead convenience.


With their warm flavors of applesauce, cinnamon, allspice, and cloves, they may just become your family's favorite, too.   

When preparing these, serve them up fresh-baked, or you can make them ahead and freeze so there's one less item on your to-do list to worry about!

And that's  a wonderful thing.

So when you think of the warm flavors of fall baking and spending time with family, think of these oh-so-tasty-and-comforting Applesauce Muffins.

With their warm flavors of applesauce, cinnamon, allspice, and cloves, they may just become your family's favorite, too.

  3. Thank you for the recipe! These were very yummy! I made half of the recipe and make them into mini muffins (cooked in about 10 mins). It made a lot! Which is great since I'm freezing them for my kids' breakfasts.
