Well, I am not sure what to call these–they are made in a muffin pan and look like muffins, yet their texture is almost more of a bar or dessert and they remind me of pumpkin pie…hence the name. The smell of fall (and pumpkin!) is in the air! And hopefully more pumpkin recipes will follow!
Pumpkin-Apple Pie Muffins
1 cup chopped apples (about 1 apple)
1 cup pumpkin puree
4 eggs
1/2 cup applesauce
1/2 Tbsp. vanilla
1/3 cup honey
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ginger
1/4 tsp. cloves
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 cup coconut flour, sifted
1/3 cup walnuts, chopped (sprinkle on top)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line regular-sized muffin pan with liners.
2. Combine chopped apple, pumpkin puree, eggs, applesauce, vanilla and honey. Mix well.
3. Add dry ingredients and mix until incorporated.
4. Divide batter among 12 muffin cups. Sprinkle chopped walnuts on top.
5. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes.
6. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
I would love to hear feedback on these–if there are things you would change, add or delete. Let me know your thoughts! Most of my recipes are a work-in-progress.

I just made these but I replaced the chopped apple with dried cranberries and added slivered almonds and pecans. SO GOOD
Thank you!

this worked great! I used my own apple butter instead of applesauce and used fresh pumpkin. They were done in 30 minutes are moist and delicious!

Absolutely wonderful… had to bake a bit longer, and they were still slightly wet, but that didnt stop my little minions from devouring almost the whole batch!

I came across your website in my search for a pumpkin apple muffin recipe. They are in the oven as I type
They smell wonderful but I just checked them after 35 minutes and the batter is still pretty wet…? I double checked the ingredient list and the temp of my oven. I think I followed everything properly. Any ideas of what I may have done wrong? I am looking forward to trying out more of your recipes even if this one doesn’t work out for me.
Thanks!

Hi Rebecca! Thanks for visiting my site! I would keep cooking them until they aren’t wet…It could be that your apple was just a lot juicier than the ones I have used. I’m not sure why else it would be so wet! I hope they turn out for you! Let me know!

Hi Jennifer,
Thanks for your reply. I kept them in 20 extra minutes and they taste good but they are pretty wet still. I don’t have a sifter so that may have something to do with it. And my pumpkin puree was homemade so maybe it’s a little less thick than when you buy it at the grocery store. I’ll be trying one of your pancake recipes this weekend
Thanks!

I love your header…so cute! This recipe looks delicious (I found it linked to you at MSM). I host an allergy-friendly blog hop with 6 other bloggers on Wednesdays. I would love for you to share this or any other recipe with us. Allergy-Free Wednesdays will open late tonight (depending on your time zone) and you can find it at willingcook.com.
We hope to see you there!

Do you have any suggestions for other gluten free flour(s) you could substitute in this recipe if someone doesn’t have coconut flour available and do you know what proportions? Thanks!
Jennifer

Hi Jessica! Hm…I have had a lot of questions on what to substitute for arrowroot or almond flour, but never coconut
Coconut flour is kind of tricky in the fact that when you use it you have to add more eggs and often more liquid. If you used a different flour, I would reduce the amount of eggs to probably 2…and try that. Sorry, I haven’t tried this recipe using a flour other than coconut! Hope this can be helpful!

I can’t wait to try these! I have some pumpkin in the fridge waiting to be used up. I have a recipe for pumpkin muffins and pumpkin bread, but never thought of putting apples with it. Sounds DELISH. Thanks for your site and for giving God the glory!

Thanks for your comment and for visiting my site! Enjoy the muffin/dessert things
I still don’t know if “muffins” is the best name for them!

You just read my mind! I was seriously going to ask you if you had any good pumpkin recipes. I just tried a couple I didn’t like very much.
