  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by lightly spraying it with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and brown sugar until frothy. Add unsweetened applesauce, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract, and stir until smooth.
  3. Gently mix in all-purpose flour, baking powder, and ground cinnamon until just combined.
  4. Fold in the diced apple pieces into the batter, ensuring even distribution.
  5. Scoop the batter into muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Optionally sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top.
  6. Bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Remove muffins from the oven, let them cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
