These are crazy good. I've literally had 2 separate marriage proposals (as a joke, I think...) after friends have tried these. I'm not kidding, it is the best pumpkin muffin you'll ever have and they taste even better the second day.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Combining apples and pumpkin with all the fall spices in one muffin is a marriage made in heaven. The muffins are tender with bits of apple in every bite. The sugary topping bakes perfectly and goes with all the yummy flavors. These are equally good warm or at room temperature. Better than anything you'll find at the coffee shop, these are honestly some of the best muffins we've tried. The Test Kitchen

How to Make Pumpkin Apple Muffins

Step-by-Step

Preheat the oven to 350 F and spray muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, combine all the dry ingredients including sugars.
In a larger bowl, whisk eggs, pumpkin, oil and vanilla extract.
Slowly blend the dry ingredients into the wet, mixing until incorporated.
Fold in apples.
To make the topping, combine ingredients and mix until butter is pea size.
Fill greased muffin tins about 7/8 full--almost to the top, and sprinkle with the topping if desired.
Bake for about 20-24 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the muffins comes out clean.
Let cool for a few minutes. Remove muffins from pan and enjoy warm or cold!
