Ingredients

Muffins:
  • 1 ⅔ 1 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1 cup sugar
  • 1 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice (see note)
  • 1 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 1 cup canned pumpkin
  • ½ ½ cup neutral-flavored oil or melted butter
  • 2 2 large eggs
  • 1 1 large apple, peeled and finely chopped or grated (about 1 cup, more or less)
Topping:
  • 1 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (see note)
  • 3 3 tablespoons sugar

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, salt and baking powder.
  3. In a small bowl, add the pumpkin, oil or butter, and eggs and mix until well-combined.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir a few times (some dry streaks are ok). Fold in the chopped apples and stir until just combined and no dry streaks remain.
  5. Divide the batter among the muffin liners, filling about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
  6. For the topping, stir together the pumpkin pie spice and sugar until evenly combined. Sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon of the topping on each muffin (more or less).
  7. Bake at 350 degrees for 17-20 minutes until the tops spring back lightly to the touch. Remove the muffins to cool completely on a wire rack.

Notes

  • Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice: if you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, use the following combination to equal 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (increase as needed): 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ginger and 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg and 1/8 teaspoon cloves.
