These Cinnamon Apple Mini Muffins are a delightful treat, perfect for any occasion. They are moist, flavorful, and easy to prepare.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a mini muffin pan by lining it with paper liners or greasing it lightly.
Using paper liners makes cleanup easier and gives the muffins a neat appearance.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Add the egg to the mixture and beat until well incorporated.
Crack the egg into a separate bowl first to avoid shells in the batter.
Mix in the cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, and baking soda.
Sift the dry ingredients together beforehand to ensure even distribution.
Alternately add the applesauce and flour to the mixture, starting and ending with the flour. Mix until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
Use a small ice cream scoop for even portions.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Rotate the pan halfway through baking for even cooking.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling on a wire rack prevents the muffins from becoming soggy.
Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
Pair with a warm beverage for a cozy treat.
