Mix milk, yeast, butter and maple sirup, slightly heat up until the yeast is dissolved
Add flour, salt, cinnamon and apple sauce and knead to a smooth dough
Place the dough in a bowl and let it rise for approx. 20 minutes
Then knead the dough again, put it back in the bowl, cover it up and let it rise again for 1 – 2 hours
In the meantime prepare the filling
Peel the apple and cut it in pieces
Put in a small pot and simmer at medium heat along with all other ingredients
for approx. 5-10 minutes, stir occasionally until the apple pieces are soft but doesn’t fall apart
After the dough has risen, preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F)
Grease a muffin pan (for 12 muffins)

Knead into balls, separate them again and place half of them in the muffin pan
Put the filling in the middle (best to create a small hollow) and then put the rest of the dough on top
