Apple Cake take 1

I had a request for Apple Cake. I've used this recipe a few times. I'm currently trying to find a way to add some pizazz.

What you need:

1/4 C granulated sugar
2 C flour
2 1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp baking soda
2 medium eggs
1/2 C veggie oil
2 tsp vanilla
1 c chopped walnuts 
5 1/2 C chopped apples ( i like to mix it up with Fuji, Gala, Red Delicious & at least Granny Smith)

What you do:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9*13 pan with Pam. In mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients, (sugar, flour, cinnamon, soda) Add wet ingredients and mix well. Fold in your apples and nuts. Make sure that all the apples are evenly coated. The mix may seem a little dry. Don't worry! Once the baking gets going. those apples will let their juices flow. Pour mix into pan and bake for 45-50 minutes. If you're like me and don't wanna wait, gobble it up warm :)

I hope my reader can use this and it's like the one she remembers. If there's something missing, please let me know!!!!

I know, I know. You're asking yourselves, "Where the hannah has she been?"  :) I've been here. Just lazy. But now that I'm moving into my 5th month of pregnancy and it's getting cooler, you will hopefully see more of me :)

Today, I logged onto Pinterest and was bombarded with fall happiness!! Autumn is my FAVORITE season and not just because things get to be orange :) As I've said before-i love the smells, the crispness in the air. Heck! I love everything!

So I decided that I needed to make something pumpkin-y to get me in the mood. So, here is my fave reason for Pumpkin Streusel Top Muffins

 

What you need:

2 1/2 C flour (i do half wheat/half white when i wanna feel healthier)
1/2 C quick oats
4 heaping tsp pumpkin spice*
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
 1 1/2 C pumpkin puree
1 C light brown sugar
1 C granulated sugar
2/3 c veg oil
1/2 C applesauce (unsweetened)
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
STREUSEL TOPPING
1/4 C packed brown sugar
2 TB softened butter
2 TB quick oats
2 TB flour
*if you don't have pumpkin spice, I'll post at the end how to make your own

What to do:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place cupcake liners in their spots on your pan :)
In mixing bowl, combine: pumpkin, brown sugar, granulated sugar, oil, applesauce, eggs, & vanilla. Mix well. In separate bowl combine flour, oats, pumpkin spice, baking soda, baking powder, & salt. Slowly add dry to wet ingredients and mix thoroughly.

 Scoop into cupcake liner and fill almost to the top. In a small bowl, combine streusel topping until it's crumbly. I use a fork :) Put a little streusel topping on the muffin mixture.



Bake for 25-30 mins. When the muffins spring back when touched, they're done. 

PUMPKIN SPICE
Combine 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 1/2 tsp ginger & 1/4 tsp cloves. Mix and store in airtight container. I always double it at least!
