• 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.

• 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.

CORN MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix the flour, sugar, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, and eggs. With the mixer on the lowest speed, pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and stir until they are just blended. Spoon the batter into the paper liners, filling each one to the top. Bake for 30 minutes, until the tops are crisp and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool slightly and remove from the pan.

CORN, DILL BABY MUFFINS

Steps:

• These savory muffins are great for breakfast, lunch or even dinner as an alternative to bread. For the perfect brunch fare serve with cream cheese, capers, thinly sliced red onions and smoked salmon.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Brush a mini-muffin tin with oil. Set aside.
• Combine all the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. In another bowl combine the egg and the egg white, the buttermilk and the vegetable oil and whisk until combined. Add the dill.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir gently with a wooden spoon or a rubber spatula until just combined and some flour still appears. Do not mix until smooth or muffins will be tough.
• Pour the batter into prepared muffin tins and bake for about 8 minutes or until golden and tester comes out dry from center of muffin.
• Remove muffins from tin and cool on wire rack.
• Variations:
• You can also use a mini muffin tin and bake about 30 of these as appetizers. I like to top them with slices of smoked trout or combine the smoked trout with cream cheese and make a mousse. They are yummy.

RICH AND BUTTERY CORN MUFFINS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, sour cream, milk and eggs. Fold butter mixture into dry ingredients, then scoop batter into muffin tin (it will be very full). Sprinkle each muffin top with Demerara sugar.

Bake at 400° for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Serve warm.
