Muffin Recipe: Apple Raisin Spice Muffins

Easy, Healthy, Apple Muffin Recipe, Sweet & Moist

Our applesauce raisin muffins are easy to make, healthy to eat, and delicious! This apple muffin recipe is sweet and moist, but not sugary, and perfect for Sunday brunch, with soups or salads, or as a tasty snack.

We used homemade applesauce for our muffins, because apples were in season and we just happened to have made applesauce. You don't need to do that - unless you want to! Any good quality unsweetened applesauce will do.

Cooking Tip: The secret to the sweet & moistness of these muffins, besides the applesauce, is 'plumping' the raisins in hot water before adding.

Makes 12 large applesauce raisin muffins: Add chopped walnuts to make them even healthier and tastier!
