Applesauce Muffins
These Applesauce Muffins are soft and moist with warm notes of cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg, topped with a crunchy brown sugar–walnut streusel. The applesauce keeps them tender while the spiced crumb adds a toasty, nutty finish. Ideal for breakfast, a cozy snack, or tucking into lunchboxes.
