I love recipes that are easy, delicious and freeze well – especially around the holidays.
When you have family coming in for Thanksgiving or Christmas, or if you just want a special treat in the morning and you don’t want to fuss, then these Apple Pumpkin Muffins are just the ticket for making ahead and freezing to serve when needed.
Of course, eating them fresh out of the oven is absolutely divine but, we all know that having something ready to go when things get busy is a sanity-saver – especially when you’re already destined for a full day in the kitchen.
Not only are these delicious, but they’re a great breakfast, brunch or snacking treat to make whenever you have leftover canned pumpkin (which happens to me after I make my banana pumpkin bread).
I’d love to tell you that I came up with this recipe on my own or that it’s been handed down generation after generation, but like many of my best recipes, it was discovered, tried and now cherished.
I like to share them on this blog in the same way I would to pass them on to a friend. After all, aren’t we all looking for great recipes?
I will always give credit where it is due if the recipe did not come from me. In this case, I would love to provide the online source where I got it from. I promise, I tried to get the original link to where I got these, but try as I might, I could not find it. So, I’m just going to tell you where it came from: the Good Morning Texas program on WFAA-TV. One of the anchors, Amy Vanderoef, shares many of her family recipes on the show and this one is a keeper. So, Amy, if you ever read this post, please send me the link!
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 T. pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 cups chopped apples
- 2 T flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 4 tsp. butter (room temp)
- Combine eggs, pumpkin and oil
- Blend all dry ingredients in
- Stir in apples
- Sprinkle topping over muffins and bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes
- I chop my apples very small because my kids don't like the big bits of apple in the muffin, but the larger chunks are delicious as well.
They’re so easy to make and they’re perfect for company.
Thank you so much for stopping by today!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Yummy!! I know I will definitely be making these. And I have a silly question… are your transferware dishes vintage or new? I love them!
Hi Amber, thanks so much for your comment.
My transferware is new. It is Spode Delamere. I love it too!
They look fabulous and I love the combination of apple and pumpkin…thanks for the recipe and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
