The Best Apple Muffins Ever

This 5-star recipe popped into my inbox from Food.com, and with it being apple season and all, I decided it would be a perfect snack for Chad on his Birthday Eve. That's right, tomorrow is his Birthday. (Blessing#952)
 

 

This recipe is a keeper! It's A-MAZ-ING! And after we each had a taste of them tonight, half of them are already gone. The other half is for Chad's birthday breakfast. I hope he shares!

3/4 cup + 2 TB packed brown sugar

1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)

1 cup natural applesauce
