This post has been sponsored by The California Prune Board. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that keep Kroll’s Korner running! They are super moist, flavorful, satisfying and packed with wholesome ingredients. The prune puree enhances the flavor of the applesauce, and that is why you will see that I don’t add much more to this Applesauce Muffin recipe. The puree adds so much natural sweetness, a caramel-like flavor, and of course, nutrition. I love that I grew up, and continue to live, in middle of the fruit basket of the world – Fresno. The abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables is unparalleled and because I am so very thankful to the hardworking farmers and their dedication to delivering the best of California grown to the world, I look for ways to incorporate this healthy goodness into my recipes.
