What better way to celebrate fall than with delicious muffins that combine the wonderful texture of apples with the warm taste of pumpkin. A simple streusel topping gives them a little something extra. Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
2 cups white sugar |
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 eggs, lightly beaten |
1 cup canned pumpkin puree |
1/2 cup vegetable oil |
2 cups peeled, cored and chopped apple |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup white sugar |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
4 teaspoons butter |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease 18 muffin cups or use paper liners.
2. In a large bowl, sift together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together eggs, pumpkin and oil. Add pumpkin mixture to flour mixture; stirring just to moisten. Fold in apples. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.
3. In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons flour, 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle topping evenly over muffin batter.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean.
