Ingredients

Muffins

• 1 ⅔ cups ( 237 g ) all-purpose flour
• 1 cup ( 212 g ) sugar
• 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup ( 235 g ) canned pumpkin
• ½ cup ( 113 g ) neutral-flavored oil or melted butter
• 2 large eggs
• 1 large ( 125 g ) apple, peeled and finely chopped or grated (about 1 cup, more or less)

Topping

• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 3 tablespoons sugar

Instructions

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.

Cool the bake on a rack until the crumb sets, then slice.
