These muffins are not overly sweet. I sprinkled some sugar crystals on the top of these for the photograph but left the rest plain.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup butter softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 cups applesauce (I used unsweetened)
• 4 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 cup chopped walnuts

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cream butter and sugar.
3. Add eggs one at a time incorporating well and mix in vanilla.
4. Stir in the applesauce.
5. Combine flour, baking soda, salt and spices.
6. Stir into creamed mixture.
7. Fold walnuts in.
8. Fill greased or paper lined muffin cups 3/4 full.
9. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

Yield: About 30 small muffins.
