Pumpkin Apple Muffins

Going through the freezer I found some pumpkin purée from I'm embarrassed to say how long ago! But if you don't have pumpkin purée you can always substitute with sweet potato or butternut squash.

This recipe makes 30 muffins or 2 - 9 X 5" loaves.

Ingredients:

4 eggs

1 cup vegetable oil

2  1/2 cups sugar

1  1/2 cups pumpkin purée

1/2 cup applesauce

3 cups all purpose flour

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

2 tsps baking soda

1 tsp salt

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/4 tsp allspice

1  1/2 cups diced and peeled apples

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Streusel:

1/4 cup chopped walnuts

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 cup brown sugar

In a large mixer bowl, cream together the eggs, vegetable oil, sugar, pumpkin purée and applesauce. Mix the flours, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice and add to the bowl. Mix until just combined then fold in the apples and walnuts. It's a big batch, the bowl will be really full!

Fill either muffins or loaf pans and top with the streusel mix.

Bake at 350°F - 1 hour for loaves or 25-30 minutes for muffins.

A cake tester should come out clean.
