Pumpkin and apple muffins
What is fall without baking with pumpkin? So, when I came across a recipe for pumpkin and apple muffins (found at Chocolate and Whine), and having both pumpkin and apples on hand, you can imagine what I did! I baked of course!
First of all, yum. Second of all, I wish I had one of these, it would have made the process a lot quicker. Chopping and peeling apples by hand is not my strong suit at all. Next time I will plan ahead a bit and borrow the one my mom has.
Anyway, they are very tasty. The batter was really thick, more than I thought it would be. Also, it made 2 dozen! I am not sure if the recipe was supposed to be that big, or if my muffin cups are just a bit shallow, but it was dangerous to have so many of the tasty morsels in the house. I wanted to eat all of them.
I especially loved the cinnamon streusel topping. What is your favorite pumpkin recipe?






When I saw the title of this post under the BlogHer ads, I had to check it out and see if it was the same recipe. I loved this recipe! I’m glad you liked it, too. The streusel topping is amazing! By the way, did you know there’s a shortage of pumpkin this year due to flooding in the mid-west? My husband mentioned it to me this morning and the thought of going through Thanksgiving without pumpkin pie has me in a bit of a panic. So, I’m off to the store to see if there’s any pumpkin left. (And I’m totally going to clean them out.)
