Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Prepare your muffin tin by greasing 24 muffin cups or lining them with paper liners. (5 minutes)

02

Step
3 mins

In a large bowl, whisk together the 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of salt until well combined. (3 minutes)

03

Step
3 mins

In a separate bowl, combine the 2 cups of granulated sugar, 1 1/4 cups of applesauce, and 3 lightly beaten eggs. Whisk until smooth and well blended. (3 minutes)

04

Step
5 mins

Pour the wet ingredients (sugar, applesauce, and egg mixture) into the dry ingredients (flour mixture). Gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough muffins. (5 minutes)

05

Step
3 mins

Gently fold in the 2 cups of chopped peaches and 1 1/2 packages of fresh cranberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter. (3 minutes)

06

Step
5 mins

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. (5 minutes)

07

Step
2 mins

In a small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons of light brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. Mix well with a fork until the brown sugar is evenly distributed. (2 minutes)

08

Step
2 mins

Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture evenly over the tops of the muffins to add a touch of sweetness and a delightful crispy texture. (2 minutes)

09

Step
25 mins

Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it. (25 minutes)

10

Step
10 mins

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will prevent them from sticking and allow them to retain their shape. (10 minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider using melted butter or coconut oil instead of applesauce.
If you don't have fresh cranberries, you can substitute dried cranberries, but be sure to plump them up by soaking them in warm water for 10 minutes before adding them to the batter.
Feel free to add other spices like nutmeg or ginger for a warmer, more complex flavor.
These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
