Red Grape Applesauce Muffins 

This recipe was a surprise for me.  I had some unsweetened applesauce and seedless red grapes on hand that I wanted to use up so I invented this recipe.  

I am delighted they turned out to be the BEST MUFFINS that I have ever made!  The recipe could easily be used for a cake as well.  These muffins are so sweet that they qualify as a dessert on their own!
