  • ¼ tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • pinch nutmeg
  • ¾ tsp. salt

  2. Grease a muffin pan.
  3. Sift the dry ingredients into a bowl. Set aside.
  4. Measure the milk and cider and combine
  5. Cream the butter with the sugar for a bit. Then add the pumpkin applesauce and cream for few more minutes.
  6. Add eggs one at a time, scraping the sides before the next addition.
  7. Add the vanilla.
  8. Stir the flour mix into the creamed butter, alternating with the milk in three additions, starting and ending with the flour.
  9. Spoon batter into the pans. I use an ice cream scoop. Fill the cups almost full- that ensure a nice dome on top.
