Apple, Pear and Almond Muffins (really moist!)

What to do with apples and pears that are starting to go bad? Why not make muffins! A few days ago I had two left apples and two pears and as I was about to make a compote with it, I changed my mind at the last moment and made these really moist Apple, Pear and Almond Muffins. Everyone loved it!
