Preparation Steps

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
• In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and milk until well combined.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
• Gently fold in the diced apple.
• Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
• Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
• Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
