Chunky Apple Mini Muffins

Makes 16 servings (2 muffins each)

PAM® Butter No-Stick Cooking Spray
2 cups reduced-fat baking mix
8 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
1-1/8 teaspoons apple pie spice, divided
1 egg
1 cup chunky sweetened applesauce
1/4 cup apple juice

Directions
Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray 32 miniature muffin cups with cooking spray; set aside. Combine baking mix, 6 tablespoons of the sugar and 1 teaspoon of the apple pie spice in large bowl; set aside.

Beat egg, applesauce and apple juice in small bowl with wire whisk until well blended. Add to baking mix mixture; stir just until moistened. (Batter will be slightly lumpy.) Spoon evenly into prepared cups, filling each cup 3/4 full.
Bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until tops are golden brown and wooden pick inserted in centers comes out clean.

Remove to wire racks.
Mix the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon apple pie spice in small bowl. Spray tops of warm muffins with cooking spray; dip into sugar mixture.

Mini muffin cup size is 1-3/4 inch; pans have 12 to 24 cups per pan.
