How to Make Applesauce Raisin Muffins

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
2. In a large bowl, beat 2 large eggs lightly. Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, and 1 cup applesauce. Beat until thoroughly combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup chopped raisins.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional).
6. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
7. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins generously with 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar.
8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
