1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 8 Jumbo muffin cups or arrange 8 short crumb cake baking cups on a half sheet pan.
2. MAKE THE BATTER: In a large mixing bowl whisk together all the dry ingredients. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together all the wet ingredients. With a rubber spatula, add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just a few times. Gently stir in the raisins, walnuts, shredded zucchini and shredded apple. Stir just until combined. Set aside while making the topping. (This rest period gives the batter a chance to hydrate the flour and flax and the baking powder to start activating)
3. MAKE THE TOPPING: In a small mixing bowl, toss the apple wedges, brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice.
4. PUT IT ALL TOGETHER: Fill each muffin cup almost to the top. Arrange 3 apple wedges on top of each muffin. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a tester comes out clean. The muffins will look shiny and wet when done. Cool slightly and then serve warm.
