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.

1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoon Salt
2 Eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup Pumpkin Puree
1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
2 cups Apple.. peeled, cored and chopped

Streusel Topping:
2 Tablespoons Flour
1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
4 teaspoons Butter

For Muffins...
In a large bowl whisk together flour, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt. In a small bowl mix together the eggs, pumpkin and oil. Add the pumpkin mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Fold in chopped apples. 

Spoon batter into prepared muffin tin and fill 3/4 full.

  2. Pumpkin and apples together at last :)

    Sounds like the perfect fall combination. I really think I will have to make this, if only for the streusel. What a great idea! And what an easy way to make the house smell like fall!

    Sorry I haven't commented in so long! I have kind of fallen off the blogosphere this summer but, I still have been following and still love your recipes and will be a more devoted follower starting now!

    Thanks for always posting such awesome pieces :)
