They are very good, but too dry. I’ll add milk or yogourt next time.

Yes, these muffins are heavy and it’s better if you have a glass of milk with them. 🙂 But they’re kind of supposed to be! Oils/fats have been omitted and substituted with applesauce. I’ve done that for years with muffins and spice cake. You can replace 1/2 cup of the applesauce with oill of you a more traditional texture, in my opinion. We made them as written.

1/2 cup diced apple equaled 1 small, peeled apple for me. The dates I couldn’t taste unfortunately, but they did add to the sweetness which was important, as these are not very sweet. All in all, we’re gobbling them up. It’s just a matter of what type of homemade muffin you’re used to.

Great tip on how to get muffins not to stick. This recipe looks fabulous! My son loves apples and cinnamon AND baking, so we are going to have to try this soon. It reminds me of a recipe I used to make with my mom when I was little that I called “Applesauce Muffins”. I never use liners for my muffins. I just spray the pan, and the muffins don’t create extra garbage with the liners. My son is on a huge muffin kick right now and this came at the perfect time! I was wondering what to do with the “leftover” buttermilk I had in the frig. These muffins will do the trick. Thanks for sharing!
