Apple Pumpkin Muffins

I took these to a ward breakfast, and they were a huge hit. I hadn't ever eaten the pumpkin/apple combination, but it was quite tasty! And the streusel goodness on the top added just the right touch.

2 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 Tbls pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 cup applesauce
2 cups peeled, chopped apples

topping:
3 Tbls butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup flour
1 tsp cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 24 muffin cups, or line with muffin liners.

Combine flour, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.  Combine eggs, pumpkin, and applesauce in a small bowl. Stir egg mixture into flour mixture until just combined. Fold in apples.

Fill prepared muffin cups 2/3 full.

Topping: Combine butter, sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a small bowl, and sprinkle over muffin batter.

Bake 18-22 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the middle of a muffin comes out clean. Cool for five minutes before removing muffins to a wire rack.
