Pumpkin Apple Streusel Muffins #MuffinMonday

It is the last Monday of the month.  That means it is Muffin Monday, hosted by Stacy of Food Lust People Love.  Each month a group of us get together and share our Muffin recipes.  Muffins are a great, portable, compact food.  Perfect for grabbing on the way out the door to school or work, for putting into the lunchbox or for a delicious and healthy snack for the kids when they come home from school ravenous.

Today I am serving up muffins chock full of Fall Flavors because Fall is my favorite time of year and I'm enjoying it as long as I can.

I served these up to the students in one of Frank's classes with coffee in the morning.  They were a huge hit.  Moist, tender and tasting of Fall.
