Pumpkin Apple Muffins


One of my fall favorites - these muffins are moist and very tasty. They are also relatively healthy if you substitute in wheat flour and applesauce and omit the streusel topping. 

Ingredients:


2 1/2 cups flour (I usually use 1/2 wheat flour) 
2 cups brown sugar 
1 Tbsp. pumpkin pie spice 
1 tsp. baking soda 
2 eggs, beaten 
1 cup canned pumpkin (more) 
1/2 cup applesauce or oil 
2 cups apples, peeled, cored, and chopped 
Streusel Topping (can be doubled):


2 Tbsp. flour 
1/4 cup brown sugar 
1/2 tsp. cinnamon 
4 tsp. butter 

Directions:


Preheat over to 350 degrees F. Grease muffin cups. Mix dry ingredients and wet separately. Add wet to dry; stirring just to moisten. Fold in apples. Spoon in muffin cups Mix streusel topping and sprinkle on muffins. Bake 35-40 minutes.

If you prefer, you can make bread rather than muffins. Extend baking time by 30 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean

Servings: 18 
Time: 15 Minutes Preparation Time
35-40 Minutes Cooking Time
