Notes

Recipe adapted from allrecipes.com
If you choose to finely dice your apples, take not that they will disappear into the muffin. I left my pieces a little bigger to ensure nice bites of appley goodness.
If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, you can make your own, or simply substitute 2 teaspoons of cinnamon.
