Prepare and bake muffins
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease 24 muffin cups with cooking spray. In a big bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Then, add the pumpkin, applesauce, apple cider, eggs, raisins, and walnuts to the dry ingredients. Stir everything until it’s well combined. Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups. Pop them in the oven and bake for about 22 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the tops spring back when gently pressed. Let them cool a bit before enjoying!
