Making this recipe early on in the week is wonderful because throughout the week you have something sweet and delicious. In our house we always have a baked good of the week. This week it was these amazing apple sauce crumb topped muffins. They are almost done and I just baked them 2 days ago. When something is really really good in our kitchen it doesn’t last very long. I take it as a compliment.

Unsweetened apple sauce in baking has so many wonderful qualities. It makes your baked goods more moist without using more fat or sugar. Not only does it make your baked goods more moist but it also helps to add flavor. Since these muffins are an apple fall flavor the apple sauce works perfectly. Add a few spices and thats all you need. No need to add too much sugar to this recipe because the spices add so much flavor. Also since we are in the middle of holiday season laying off the super sweet and sugary items is a good thing.

Make a batch of these deliciously easy apple sauce muffins. You are guaranteed to love them.
