*As well, the measurements seem a little off, 1 cup of flour ='s 8oz(not 4), Applesauce, 3oz ='s 1/3 cup(not 3/8). I used 1/2 a cup, 4oz.
I bought sweetened Apple Sauce by mistake and I used it for this recipe, Papa Ash really enjoyed them as well. He said it had just the right amount of sweetness, tomorrow I'm going to use unsweetened as they are almost all gone! It's a great recipe.
*Wouldn't this be yummy with a homemade cinnamon butter......

I found your blog, because I was looking for applesauce muffins to make with my applesauce! I want to make my own finger foods for my baby girl, she's only 8 months old right now, but I can't wait to try this recipe! :)
Well, I pan on baking these tomorrow. We should compare notes!
Charlie is 17 months on the 4th of March and he loves applesauce. We'll see if he'll like these :)
If he's fussy all I have to do is add apple sauce and voila, problem solved!
Hi! I'm visiting from MBC. Great blog.
I'm not so sure on the measurements...4 oz equal 1/2 cup but this says 1 cup..
I'll have to contact Christine to clarify
Thank you for your message.
I realize that the conversions may look confusing, but there is a reason :)
If you measure out a cup of flour and then weigh it, it weighs 4 ounces
(because flour is not very dense). If you measure a cup of a denser
ingredient (like applesauce) it will weigh more. So the conversion amounts
will appear to be different , depending on the ingredient.
I hope this helps.
With warm wishes
