Step 1

Preheat oven to 375° F. Line or spray a mini muffin pan.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix together the applesauce, butter, sugar, brown sugar, egg, apple cider vinegar and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 3

In the same large bowl, add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 4

Spoon the batter into the muffin cups until 2/3 the way full. I use a cookie scoop which works great for mini muffins.

Step 5

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until just golden brown.

Step 6

Let cool.

Step 7

You can serve as is, or coat in the cinnamon-sugar topping.

Step 8

Cinnamon-Sugar Topping

Step 9

In a small bowl, melt the butter. In another small bowl, mix together the sugar and the cinnamon.

Step 10

Take a cooled muffin and dip it into the butter and then roll it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until well coated. Repeat with all of the muffins.
