- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions
Applesauce Mini Muffins
- Preheat oven to 375° F. Line or spray a mini muffin pan.
- In a large bowl, mix together the applesauce, butter, sugar, brown sugar, egg, apple cider vinegar and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In the same large bowl, add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Spoon the batter into the muffin cups until 2/3 the way full. I use a ____ cookie scoop which works great for mini muffins.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until just golden brown.
- Let cool.
- You can serve as is, or coat in the cinnamon-sugar topping.
Cinnamon-Sugar Topping
- In a small bowl, melt the butter. In another small bowl, mix together the sugar and the cinnamon.
- Take a cooled muffin and dip it into the butter and then roll it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until well coated. Repeat with all of the muffins.
