There’s a local bakery that sells pumpkin apple muffins and I’ve been dying to create an at-home version of them forever!

They’re quick, easy and delicious. Lightly sweetened and filled with the best fall flavors, these muffins are a definite keeper in our house.

They also go super fast because they’re perfect any time of day. I love them crumbled over yogurt in the morning, as a quick grab and go snack and even with a little ice cream for dessert.

The streusel topping is definitely what puts it over the top for me (if you know me, you know my obsession with all things streusel!).

It’s the perfect cap to a delicious muffin.

Description

these easy muffins are filled with the best fall flavors. as quick as they are delicious, they’re a crowd pleaser for the whole household!


Ingredients

Scale

For the Streusel:

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup rolled oatmeal
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoon crushed walnuts
  • 4 tablespoons room temperature butter

For the Muffins:

  • 1 and 3/4 cups white whole wheat flour (all-purpose flour or a 50/50 blend work too)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 heaping teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup lightly packed brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 medium or 2 small apples, peeled, cored & grated

Instructions

For the Streusel:

  1. Combine streusel ingredients in a bowl, working with your hands, massage butter into dry ingredients until a chunky crumb forms.  Set aside.

For the Muffins:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners
  3. Combine dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices) then set aside.
  4. In another bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time.
  5. Add pumpkin, vanilla extract and milk whipping until well combined.
  6. Add dry to wet ingredients folding until just combined (over-mixing will create a tough muffin).
  7. Gently fold apple into the batter
  8. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop even amounts of the batter into the muffin tins (filling about 3/4 of the way full)
  9. Top with streusel topping, pressing down gently to ensure it adheres to the muffin during baking
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick poked into the center comes out clean
