Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F and line a muffin tin with 12 paper cups.

  2. Step 2

    Whisk applesauce, egg, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a bowl until blended.

  3. Step 3

    Fold in flour with a few quick strokes until just combined — batter should be lumpy.

  4. Step 4

    Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

  5. Step 5

    Bake for 14–16 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  6. Step 6

    Cool in the tin for 2 minutes, then turn out onto a rack.
