So I made the pumpkin-apple muffins yesterday and they were worth the wait (and the weight). So tasty and perfect for the slightly cooler weather we've been having. I'd love to try these warm, straight from the oven with a glass of hot cider!!

Here's the recipe for those who want to try it out:

Pumpkin-Apple Muffins with Streusel Topping

INGREDIENTS
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 cups finely chopped peeled apples (This is about 2 apples. I used yellow Washington apples.)
TOPPING:
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
3 tablespoons rolled oats

DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt. Combine eggs, pumpkin and oil; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in apples. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full. For topping, combine sugar, flour, cinnamon and oats. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; sprinkle 1 teaspoon over each muffin. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30-35 minutes or until muffins test done. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack.

P.S. So a former friend of mine said that pumpkin tastes like puke...which is the reason that he is a former friend. I hope that no one else out there detests pumpkin, becuase I like you all and want to continue to enjoy your friendship.
