These could be delicious muffins, if it was'nt for the 1 tablespoon of baking soda. I noticed it when I tasted the batter. My kids noticed it after they were cooked. What a waste. All we tasted was baking soda.

I've made this recipe a couple times now and really like it. I add cinnamon and nutmeg to the batter for a little additional flavor. Also, I brush the tops with butter and then sprinkle the sugar mixture. I don't like burning my fingers on fresh from the over muffins. When I first took them from the over I was sure I burned them because they were a darker brown than I expected, but they taste great. They remind me of an apple doughnut. Very yummy.

These muffins were light, fluffy, and moist. They were a beautiful color, and I loved the cinnamon and sugar on top. However, they were very difficult to eat because of the aftertaste of the baking soda. It was so bitter and metallic tasting. I love the height and airiness the soda gave, so I wonder if there is a way to cut the bitterness. I will experiment, because this recipe has a lot of potential. Thank you!

These are yummy! I made these this evening for a couple of people who called up and invited themselves over. I substituted the butter with margarine and I used homemade applesauce(recipe number 12802). I did make a little change though, i.e., I used the additional sugar(the one for sprinkling over the muffins) and the additional melted margarine(into which the tops of the muffins had to be dipped) alongwith the other ingredients while mixing in everything together in the mixing bowl. I did this because the batter did not seem to have exactly the right consistency without the additional melted margarine and the remaining sugar gave it that extra much-needed creaminess which usually every muffin has. Later I did not use more sugar and melted margarine. I baked these muffins at 220C for 15 minutes. Thereafter, I let them sit in the closed oven for another 12 minutes before removing them and allowing them to cool completely on wire racks. Everyone loved them and they were gobbled up before I could grab a bite! These are the first applesauce muffins I've tried and the recipe goes straight into my hand written cookbook where I save all the successful Zaar recipes I've tried! A definite keeper this recipe is! Thank You for sharing this wonderful recipe.
