Pumpkin Apple Pie Muffins

I know we are moving into summer instead of fall, but I couldn't resist these Pumpkin apple pie muffins here.  I love a good muffin and if you throw the word pie in there, what's not to love? I will forget the walnuts (begrudgingly! They look so good) and use a gluten free flour blend instead of the coconut flour (The ratio: 1 cup brown rice to 2/3 potato starch to 1/3 tapioca starch).
