These muffins make a great breakfast, snack or dessert. The fruit and whole wheat flour keeps them feeling slightly less indulgent than a piece of cake. My husband has taught all of my sons to put butter on all muffins except the huge Costco kind. So, I am pretty well resigned to the fact that no matter how sweet or savory any muffin I make, the boys will be grabbing a knife to cut them and slather on the butter. There is nothing in fall like pumpkin dishes or apple dishes. Combining the two seemed like a double dose of my favorite season. I never realized how much I loved Autumn until I moved to a really warm climate. The onset of cool weather in October is such a blessed relief. Breaking out the stored boxes of sweaters is like getting a whole new wardrobe. Being able to bake whenever I feel like it because we like the extra heat from the kitchen is an added bonus.
