How to Make Awesome Applesauce Loaf Or Muffins Mix
- **Master Mix:**
- In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients (see below) and whisk until thoroughly combined.
- Cut in shortening using a pastry blender or two butter knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Ensure the shortening is evenly distributed throughout the mix. The texture should be crumbly.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 months.
- **Applesauce Loaf:**
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- In a separate bowl, combine 3 1/3 cups master mix, 2 large eggs, and 1 cup applesauce.
- Mix well until just combined. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional).
- Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
- Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- **Applesauce Muffins:**
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease and flour the tin.
- Fill each muffin cup 3/4 full with batter (from step 7).
- Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- **Gifting Ideas:**
- Package the master mix in a decorative jar with a label including baking instructions. Add a small bag of chopped pecans and a recipe card.
- Enhance the presentation with dried apples, cinnamon sticks, and raffia.
