    Sunday Night Recipe: Rhubarb-Applesauce Muffins

    Published: Apr 29, 2012 · Updated: Feb 2, 2021 by Kevin Williams | 2 Comments

     This recipe is a favorite in some Amish settlements, merging a fall favorite with a spring favorite.  Leftover autumn apples stored crisply during the winter are combined with rhubarb to make this wonderfully moist muffin..  You can use all store-bought stuff for this, but most Amish homemakers will be using their own homemade applesauce and garden grown rhubarb for this recipe. Give it a try!

      How many muffins does the applesauce rhubarb recipe make? Two T. per muffin cup is not very much. Correct amount? Thanks.

        Tommie, that is correct - the tablespoons. It makes 18 muffins.
