    Applesauce puffs are perfect for breakfast or brunch.  Start with a biscuit mix for easy preparation. They won't last long at your house!

    Applesauce Puffs rolled in cinnamon sugar

     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!).

      Are the nutrition facts based on one mini muffin? Or for the serving size which says 9?

        They are based on one regular sized (not mini) muffin. You can also reference our nutrition page. Hope that helps!

      Yummy! One of the best midnight munchies desserts yet!! Especially served warm. And it took only 15 mins from start to finish. I used Almond milk instead of regular milk and pancake mix instead of biscuit mix. Also left out the butter,but we had extra cinnamon sugar to dip our puffs into. Sugar sticks to hot baked goods. A++++

      Would apple pie filling work in this recipe instead of the applesauce?

        No, I think it would be too heavy.

      These were good but dry. I used the substitution recipe as I didn’t have a biscuit mix. It seems like there is too much flour? Looking for suggestions.

        Well, the amounts should be correct. If you find you are having trouble, I would suggest adding a bit more milk. Maybe 1/4 cup and see if that helps. It is a very popular recipe and I know it works well for many people. If you try making them again, let me know how they go! I would love to help you troubleshoot!

          I added 2/3 of biscuits mix and one egg to fill up the pan. I knew I needed more. For next batch I will add a apple pieces to get a little moist. Anyway, they are easy, fast and great for speedy breakfast, with company. I loved them.

      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!

        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.

        Katie, I’m sure the melted butter and cinnamon sugar mixture that the muffins are rolled in, is where a lot of the fat is coming from. Omit that step or substitute for something else if that is a concern. Maybe a small honey drizzle on top, or even just leave any topping off all together. As the original post says, you can substitute milk for almond milk too. It seems this recipe is pretty versatile.

        The high fat is from the biscuit mix. You can find substitute recipes that are low in fat.

      All I have is pancake mix, would that work or would it make it too sweet?

        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! :-)

          I saw that in another comment & ended up using your sub suggestion. They’re in the oven so we will see!

      I have a question about the muffin tins. If I wanted to use my mini muffin tin, would I need to adjust baking times?

        Yes, reduce the time to about 6-7 minutes then check.

        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!
