We have these muffins for breakfast about once a month, and they’re yummy. My only problem is keeping my young sugar monsters from eating the tops off the muffins and leaving the bottom part lying on the plate. Does anyone else have children who do such things?

Yield: about six large or twelve miniature muffins

Ingredients;
1/2 c. butter or margarine, softened
1/2 c. sugar
2 eggs
3/4 c. applesauce
1 3/4 c. flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
In a large bowl, cream softened butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time until light and fluffy.
Beat in applesauce. Stir together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to butter mixture; stir just enough to moisten. Spoon into mufin cups. Bake in preheated oven about 15 minutes or until golden brown. While still warm, dip into melted butter, then into cinnamon and sugar combined.
