Ingredients

  • 2 Tbs. Unsalted Butter, melted More for the pan.

  • 1 cup Granulated White Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar, packed

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
    Butter and flour a bundt pan, set aside.
    Whisk together flours, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt, in a large bowl and set aside.
    In a small bowl, whisk together both sugars, apple cider, apple cider vinegar, oil applesauce, vanilla and eggs.
  • You do not need to use an electric mixer.
    Gradually whisk egg mixture into flour mixture. Be careful not to overmix.
    Pour batter into prepared pan.
    If using muffin tins, line with muffine liners then fill 3/4 way up.
  • Bake 45-55 minutes. You want a tester to come out clean or with a few crumbs. For muffins bake 20-30 minutes.
    Let cool in pan for 15 minutes, then turn out on rack.
