This easy recipe for applesauce blender muffins is a quick and delicious snack for apple season or anytime, and the blender makes them a snap to whip up…blend, bake and eat!
It’s apple season! And when apple season rolls around, the Southern husband and I head to our very favorite apple orchard and pick way too many apples, because it is amazing how quickly two people can pick three pecks of apples even when they are trying to pick slowly and make it last. So three pecks of apples = lots of homemade applesauce, and lots of homemade applesauce = applesauce blender muffins.
This is hands down the easiest recipe in my repertoire of muffin recipes. Put everything in your blender, push the button, pour the batter into a muffin tin, bake and eat. And yes, you can use store-bought applesauce and they will turn out just fine. Let’s make them!
We really did pick three pecks, which is a whole lotta apples, so I am running through my entire store of any recipe that calls for an apple.
Starting with my favorite, favorite recipe for homemade applesauce. Which (bonus points!) makes the whole house smell like apple heaven.
However, once you have made a giant vat of applesauce since you picked three pecks of apples, and you have given a mason jar of applesauce to everyone you know, then it’s time to start using the applesauce as an ingredient as well. Which is where these applesauce blender muffins come in.
They are as easy as putting the applesauce and a few other things that you probably have in your pantry right this minute into the blender, pushing the button, and then baking up the batter. Here’s my favorite blender, but your blender will work just fine too. And if you haven’t picked three pecks of apples and made a vat of applesauce, store bought applesauce will work just fine, especially the unsweetened kind.
Let them cool just a little bit and then eat the first one (or two, or three) while they are still warm.
Easy applesauce muffins dusted with cinnamon sugar…happy apple season!

Hi,
Just a quick question. Does it have to be self-rising flour or will just plain old white flour work?
Thanks
Hi there! You do need to use self-rising flour because that’s what gives the muffins their fluffy texture. But if you don’t have any on hand, it’s super easy to make – here’s a quick method from the always wonderful folks at King Arthur! https://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/homemade-self-rising-flour-recipe
