It seemed the perfect time to come up with a new muffin recipe, for the new pumpkin shaped cupcake/muffin tin I picked up recently. These Fall Harvest Muffins are packed with pumpkin and seasonal spices, as well as grated Granny Smith apple, raisins and bran cereal, the filled with a cinnamon butter cream. They are very moist and hearty.

Notes
Fill or top with my Cinnamon Buttercream Frosting Recipe* if you use regular muffin tins, Cinnamon Butter Cream Frosting becomes optional.* if you made 3-D muffins like I did you will need to cut the convex tops off, for the halves to fit properly
