Thanksgiving Pumpkin Apple Muffins

Thanksgiving Pumpkin Apple Muffins 

I found this recipe online and adapted a little bit because I did not have all the ingredients at home, but this tasted SO good. I especially like the fact that my kids are eating vegetables without even realizing it :)

ps. I made the pumpkin puree by slicing the pumkin and placing each half in a large dish with some water. 45 minutes in the oven about 350F, 165 C. Then just use a spoon to scoop out the pumpkin and blend. SO EASY!

• 1 cup sugar (optional)
