  • 1/3 cup brown sugar

  3. In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the applesauce, eggs, brown sugar, melted butter, and milk until smooth.

  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until the cornbread batter is just combined. Do not overmix.

  5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
