Yummy Apple Pumpkin Muffins

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

1 cup canned or cooked pumpkin

1/2 cup vegetable oil

2 cups finely chopped peeled apples

STREUSEL:

1/4 cup sugar

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

4 teaspoon cold butter or margarine

Directions:

1. In a bowl, combine the first five ingredients. In another bowl, combine the eggs, pumpkin and oil; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in apples. Fill paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. In a small bowl, combine sugar, flour and cinnamon. Cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over batter.

2. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.

TIP: If you don't have any pumpkin pie spice on hand, I used this substitution:

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

Mix it all together and...voila!!
