1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
*(substitute for vegan margarine for baking for lactose free recipe)
1/2 cup + 1 tbsp. confectioners/icing sugar
1 cup self-rising flour
2 eggs
3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
3/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Preheat the oven to 350F. Place the butter, icing sugar, flour, and egg in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer on low-medium speed for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the applesauce, cinnamon, and nuts with a whisk until well combined. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the batter into each well of a muffin tin lined with baking cups.

Remove muffins from pan and cool on a wire rack for 25 minutes.
