Applesauce Muffins

Submitted by Sweet Diva MJ

"Adapted from Taste of Home. We love these old fashioned tasty muffins. I substitute freshly ground whole grain flour for the all-purpose. These tender muffins freeze well. **PLEASE NOTE** If you substitute store-bought wheat flour for the all-purpose, you do not need to add the additional amount of flour - just use the same amount as all-purpose."
