HARVEST SPICE MUFFINS (APPLE-PEAR SPICE MUFFINS)
With an abundance of quickly ripening pears on the counter, and with a crowd of hungry little people to feed, I came up with these tender, lightly sweet, and surprisingly healthy muffins! They passed the Picky Sibling Test with flying colors. I modified a basic apple muffin recipe from a Pennyslvania bed and breakfast, making changes to make the muffins healthier and more unique. I hope you like them too! I used a mixture of apples and pears (two small Bartlett pears and one very small Pink Lady apple), but you could use just apples if that's all you have available. I also used white whole wheat flour (ground from white wheat), which is lighter than regular whole wheat (ground from red wheat). It has the exact same nutritional value but is not as strong-flavored or "heavy," so try it if you can find it!

Steps:
- Whisk together eggs, milk, and oil until completely blended.
- Stir in diced fruit.
- Combine remaining ingredients in separate bowl.
- Add dry to wet ingredients and stir just until blended.
- Let batter sit for 15-20 minutes: this is optional, but I think it makes the muffins rise higher. (You could also let the batter sit after you divide it into the muffin cups, instead of before.).
- Divide batter between 20 greased muffin cups and bake at 400 for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown on top.
- Serve warm with a drizzle of honey!

Tips:
- Use ripe pears. Bartlett pears are at their best when they are ripe and juicy. Look for pears that are slightly soft to the touch and have a sweet, fragrant smell.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin cups only two-thirds full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly and prevent them from overflowing.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help prevent the muffins from breaking.
