Pumpkin Apple Spice Muffins

Posted by Melanie G.

**These have to be one of my all-time favorite muffins.**

1 2/3 cups all purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice (or use equal amounts of cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and ginger)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and finely chopped
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or use equal amounts of cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and ginger)
3 tablespoons sugar

Combine first 6 ingredients in a large bowl; make a well in center of mixture. Combine pumpkin, butter, and eggs, and add to dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened. Fold in chopped apple and spoon into greased muffin pans, filling two-thirds full. Combine 3 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice; sprinkle evenly over muffins. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Remove from pans immediately, and cool on wire racks.

Melanie - we love these muffins! I have made them twice in the last two weeks. I used 1 cup of wheat flour and 2/3 cup of white and I liked the texture! Thanks Judy
