Pumpkin Apple Muffins

I am on a small quest to find new pumpkin recipes. The only ones I have are pumpkin chocolate chip cookies and breads. I also need to find a use for some apples I bought to be a decoration and I am realizing that that's a nice thought but now they are going to go bad and what a waste of really delicious apples that would be. So luckily while looking for a new pumpkin recipe I found this and it not only has pumpkin but it also had apples. 

I haven't ever made muffins so I was so interested to make these. They turned out so moist and flavorful. My girls scarfed them down. It sounded like an odd combination but its definitely going to be a recipe I make again.
