Applesauce Muffins

Kerry and I used to have these before school sometimes. Aside from the sugar, they're a healthy treat for the little ones.

1 c butter
2 c sugar
2 eggs
3 t vanilla

4 c flour
1 t cloves
1 t allspice
3 t cinnamon

2 t baking soda
2 c applesauce

Cream butter and sugar, add eggs and 1 t vanilla. In separate bowl, sift together dry ingredients (except baking soda). Combine wet and dry ingredients. In another bowl, combine 2 t vanilla, applesauce and baking soda. Mix all but be careful not to over-beat. Mixture will be lumpy. Pour into greased muffin tins until 1/2 full.

Bake at 400 for 12 minutes.

Makes 4 dozen.
