This original recipe is generously sized to create a large batch of muffins, making it perfect for freezing or large gatherings. The high ratio of applesauce and oil ensures a wonderfully moist, soft crumb, while the blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves delivers a classic autumnal flavour profile. The final sprinkling of sugar provides a lovely, sweet crust to these comforting raisin-studded treats.
