Notes
- Applesauce: Homemade applesauce and apple pie spice are SO easy and add great flavor.
- Eggs: Be sure the eggs and applesauce are not cold when you add them in.
- Mixing: Mix the wet and dry ingredients separately to ensure everything is evenly combined. Don't overwork the batter or the muffins won't be fluffy.
