Directions

1. 1. Put the dried apricots in a small bowl and add the cup of boiling water. Cover and let stand for at least 10 minutes so the fruit will reconstitute.
2. 2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a 12 serving muffin tin with cooking spray.
3. 3. Sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and pumpkin pie spice into a large mixing bowl.
4. 4. Drain the apricots and add them along with the oats and walnuts.
5. 5. In a separate bowl combine the eggs, milk and oil; blend well. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just enough to moisten.
6. 6. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling each mold two-thirds full.
7. 7. Bake for about 30 minutes or until golden brown.
