Sugar-Topped Applesauce Muffins Recipe

My five brothers, two sisters and I grew up on a farm and built up hearty appetites doing various chores. It seemed no matter what I helped Mom cook was gobbled up. That encouraged me to spend more time in the kitchen!

Big Batch Baked Goods

We enjoy homemade baked goods for breakfast, but I don’t have time to bake each morning before school. So I devote 1 day a month to making large batches of cinnamon rolls, doughnuts, cream cheese rolls and muffins. I place them in heavy-duty resealable plastic bags labeled with the date. (They freeze for about 2 months.) On busy mornings, it’s a snap to pop a few in the microwave to warm. The kids love the fresh-baked flavor. —Lori T., New London, Texas
