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!

FROM THE PANTRY: VEGAN PEAR, CRANBERRY AND PECAN MUFFINS
You have no eggs or milk of any kind, and your pantry is bare, so baking is out of the question, right? Wrong! These clever muffins use cornstarch instead of eggs and canned-fruit syrup in place of milk. Use whatever nut or dried fruit you have on hand and canned peaches if you don't have pears. No trip to the store for provisions necessary!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with muffin liners, and spray with cooking spray.
- Spread the pecans out on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until toasted and golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool, and roughly chop.
- Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger and salt in a large bowl.
- Chop the pears into 1/2-inch pieces, and set aside. Pour the syrup into a liquid measuring cup. Pour off any excess syrup, or add water if needed, to make 3/4 cup.
- Whisk together the syrup, oil, granulated sugar and vanilla in medium bowl. Pour the mixture into the flour mixture, and add the pears, pecans and 1/4 cup of the cranberries. Gently fold the mixture together until almost completely combined (it's OK if there are a few lumps).
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, and press some of the remaining 1/4 cup cranberries into the top of each. Bake until lightly golden and the muffins bounce back when pressed in the center, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes in the tin, then remove and let cool completely on a rack. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.

- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
- Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will prevent the muffins 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 completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.

They are perfect for using up ripe pears, and they can be made with a variety of different ingredients, so you can customize them to your own taste. Whether you like them plain, with streusel topping, or with a glaze, pear muffins are sure to be a hit.
