Ingredients

    For the muffins:

    Butter, unsalted, softened, 1/4 cup
    Applesauce, unsweetened, 1/4 cup
    Granulated Sugar, 1/2 cup
    Brown Sugar, 1/3 cup, packed
    Egg, fresh, whole, raw, 2 large
    Baking Powder, 1 1/2 tsp
    Baking Soda, 1/4 tsp
    Nutmeg, ground, 3/4 tbsp
    Cinnamon, ground, 1 tsp
    Salt, 3/4 tsp
    Vanilla Extract, 1 tsp
    All-purpose flour 1 2/3 cup
    *Whole Wheat Flour, 1 cup
    Milk, nonfat (skim milk), 1 cup

    For the glaze:

    Butter, unsalted, melted, 2 tbsp
    Confectioner Sugar, 1 cup
    Vanilla Extract, 3/4 tsp
    Hot water, 2 tbsp

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line 12 muffin cups with muffin liners or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
In a bowl, beat together butter and sugars until crumbly. Then beat in applesauce until somewhat smooth. Add eggs one at a time. With mixer on low speed, add baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla until just combined. Stir the flours into the butter mixture alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour and mixing until just combined. DO NOT overmix!
Spoon batter into cups, filling them almost to the top. Divide batter equally among cups. Bake until muffin tops are just golden and springy to the touch, 15-17 min., rotating halfway through baking time. Cool muffins in muffin tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack and cool 10 minutes before glazing.
To make glaze, in a medium bowl mix together melted butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and water. Whisk until smooth.
When muffins have cooled for the time mentioned above, dip the muffin crowns into the glaze and allow the glaze to harden. Once hardened, dip a second time and allow to harden before serving.
Muffins will keep at room temperature for about a day.
