- Sift the dry ingredients into a bowl. Set aside.
- Measure the milk and cider and combine
- Cream the butter with the sugar for a bit. Then add the pumpkin applesauce and cream for few more minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, scraping the sides before the next addition.
- Add the vanilla.
- Stir the flour mix into the creamed butter, alternating with the milk in three additions, starting and ending with the flour.
- Spoon batter into the pans. I use an ice cream scoop. Fill the cups almost full- that ensure a nice dome on top.
- Put 1 tsp dollops of the maple pumpkin butter in center of each muffin batter and swirl with a tooth pick.
- Bake 15-17 minutes, or till pale golden and toothpick in the center comes out clean. It takes 16 minutes in mine.
