Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line or grease a 12-cup muffin tin. Prepare the apple and set aside.
Add the applesauce, milk, oil, and vanilla to a large mixing bowl. Whisk until well combined.
250 grams (1 cup) unsweetened applesauce, 120 ml (½ cup) non-dairy milk, 50 ml (scant ¼ cup) olive oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
To the same bowl, add the flour, coconut sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined.
260 grams (1¾ cups) spelt flour, 80 grams (⅓ cup) coconut sugar, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon nutmeg*, ¼ teaspoon sea salt
Add the apple pieces to the batter and gently fold in to evenly incorporate.

Divide the batter equally among the muffin cups. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre of a muffin comes out clean. Cool for five minutes in the muffin tin before carefully removing and cooling fully on a wire rack.

* Freshly ground, 1/4 teaspoon if pre-ground.

The muffins pictured are made with all whole-grain spelt flour, but any mix of light and whole grain can be used.
