Preheat oven to 400F. Prepare muffin baking pan with liners.
In a large bowl combine dry ingredients: flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2 cups all-purpose flour, 3 tsp. cinnamon, 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder, 1 tsp. baking soda, 1/8 tsp. salt
In a large bowl mix wet ingredients: whisk eggs, add pumpkin puree, add oil, brown sugar and shredded apple.
3 eggs, 3/4 cup canola oil, 1 cup pumpkin puree, 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1 apple
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Mix by spoon or spatula.
Pour the batter in each liner. Fill each liner fully.
Bake for 5 minutes at 400F. Lower the temperature to 350F while still keeping muffins in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
Check if muffins are ready; inserted toothpick should come out clean. Remove muffins from oven and let them cool off on the baking rack.

When it comes to baking muffins, there are a few key tips and tricks that can help you achieve the perfect batch every time. One important factor to consider is the baking temperature. Generally, muffins are baked at a temperature of 350°F for about 20-25 minutes.
For a slightly taller and more domed muffin top, you can increase the baking temperature to 400°F. Start by baking them at this higher temperature for around 5 minutes, and then reduce the temperature to 350°F for the remaining 15 minutes. This initial burst of high heat helps the muffins rise quickly, creating a more pronounced dome shape.
Another technique to keep in mind is the method of mixing the batter. Unlike some other baked goods, muffin batter doesn’t need to be beaten vigorously with a mixer. In fact, overmixing can lead to dense and tough muffins. Instead, it’s best to gently combine the wet and dry ingredients using a spoon or spatula.
