Applesauce Puffs are muffins rolled in butter and cinnamon sugar. Enough said, right? They are like eating a cinnamon sugar donut. (However they are much easier to make!)
I made these one night while we had our breakfast for dinner. I wanted to try something new (as usual). The applesauce puffs are a lot like the popular French Puffs I make except these start with a biscuit mix. You also add applesauce to the mix instead of having to add a lot of oil so that is a healthier.
Of course, you may loose some of that benefit when you roll the muffin in butter and cinnamon sugar. Shh, don’t tell. 😉
When I made these, I knew they would be a hit with the family. I didn’t realize they would be wiped out in one sitting. Well, actually we had one left. Ryan was working on his MTA at a friend’s house and when he got home he devoured the last one.
Oh, well. Next time, I guess I should make a double batch.
Applesauce Puffs Are Easy To Make
As I said, it starts with a biscuit mix. You can use a homemade mix or a store bought. I used a store bought mix because I happened to have some in my pantry. Why, I’m really not sure, but I went with it.
There aren’t very many ingredients and you can certainly substitute the milk for almond milk.
Try making them. Actually, this would be a great recipe for your children to try their hand in the kitchen! These muffins were moist, flavorful and became a family favorite. You can use a regular sized muffin pan like this one or a mini muffin pan (which, by the way, this one holds 24 muffins. Brilliant!).

Nutrition
Katie says
I wouldn’t mind giving these a go for my toddler but the amount of fat per serving is insanity. Is that really for one muffin? I couldn’t eat it!
Kim says
Well, there are ways to reduce that such as no fat milk or use less cinnamon sugar mixture on the outside of the muffin.
If it doesn’t suit your family, maybe search around the site and see what else you can find.
Makayla says
All I have is pancake mix, would that work or would it make it too sweet?
Kim says
I believe someone said in the comments that they used pancake mix. I haven’t tried it. It would make it sweeter, but it may work. You can use 2 cups of flour, 3 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp of salt if you don’t have biscuit mix. Enjoy! 🙂
Makayla says
I saw that in another comment & ended up using your sub suggestion. They’re in the oven so we will see!
Alison says
I have a question about the muffin tins. If I wanted to use my mini muffin tin, would I need to adjust baking times?
Kim says
Yes, reduce the time to about 6-7 minutes then check.
Jaime says
Any suggestions if we don’t have biscuit mix? Thank you!
Kim says
If you want to replace the biscuit mix, try 2 cups of flour, 3 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp of salt. I think that should work for you!
