I didnt taste any applesause, made 24 mini muffins, add cinnamon/sugar to top before baking. DH liked them, but I thought them dry.

These were easy to make. Hubby and I both found them to be a little bland though. Maybe next time I'll add a few raisins or some small-diced apple.

I doubled this recipe and was able to make 24 large - sized muffins.I lowered the heat to 350 degrees and cooked them for about 20 minutes.Upon removal from the oven,I dipped them into the melted margarine and then the sugar/cinnamon mixture.Very moist with a nice apple flavour!!!
