Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Prepare a muffin tin by spraying with non stick spray or using muffin liners.
In one bowl, mix together the wet ingredients - melted butter, apple sauce, grated apple, eggs, maple syrup, milk, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients - flour, spices, salt, baking powder and baking soda until well combined.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Evenly divide the batter between 12 muffin cups.
Bake the muffins at 425 degrees for 5 minutes. After five minutes, leave muffins in the oven but reduce heat on oven to 350 degrees. Bake for another 17-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove muffins from the oven to a cooling rack. As soon as muffins are cool enough to handle, remove them from the muffin tin and finish cooling on the cooling rack. Allow to cool completely before storing.
Muffins can be kept in a sealed container at room temperature for 1-2 days. Muffins can be frozen for up to 3 months.

Notes

To freeze: Allow to completely cool before freezing. Individually wrap in plastic wrap and then store in a freezer bag. Muffins can be thawed in the refrigerator overnight or quickly thawed and warmed up in the microwave for 30-45 seconds.
To make dairy free: use vegan butter and non dairy milk such as unsweetened almond milk.
