Pumpkin Apple Muffins (Bishop's Pumpkin Farm!)

The food blog universe has been cranking out Fall recipes for awhile now. But me? I've been holding it off. Full. On. Denial. (Seriously, when the first chilly day came that I had to put on some pants and a hoodie, I almost cried.) In a desperate effort to extend Summer, I circled a particular date on my calendar and put off any Autumn-inspired cooking until then.

October 3rd. Jon's field trip to Bishop's Pumpkin Farm!

At that point, it would be too hard to ignore the season. We'd be surrounded by bright orange pumpkins, scarecrows, and corn mazes. Things like freshly pressed apple cider and deliciously spiced goods would be out for sale. I figured, alright, this would be quite the ceremonious way to say goodbye to my favorite season and say hello to the baking season. My first Fall baked good is inspired by this fun (and a bit chaotic) field trip!
