Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by greasing it lightly.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, and salt; whisk until blended.
  3. In another bowl, mix together applesauce, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined.
  5. Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden and firm; test with a toothpick for doneness.
  7. Prepare the cinnamon-sugar coating by mixing sugar and cinnamon; roll cooled puffs in this mixture.
