Applesauce Muffins

Made these a lot when the kids were little. Oh so good. Thanks for the memories, Janel!

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
3/4 cup applesauce
1 3/4 cup flour
1 T baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 cup butter, melted, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 t. cinnamon (for finishing)

Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time.  Beat in applesauce.  Stir together flour, baking powder, and salt.  Add to butter mixture; stir just enough to moisten.  Spoon into 36 greased tea-sized muffin cups (or use muffin papers.)
Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes.  While warm, dip tops in butter, then dip in sugar/cinnamon mixture.
