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
