Gluten-Free Apple Cinnamon Muffins

“A” is for Apple and these Gluten-Free Apple Cinnamon Muffins are  “A” apple-icious!

We have had some crazy cold weather here in Idaho in the last few weeks and I thought what better way to warm up then with some Apple Cinnamon Muffins. These Gluten-Free Apple Cinnamon Muffins are tender, soft, moist, and filled with yummy apple bits, hints of cinnamon, and topped with a sweet crumb topping.

This apple cinnamon muffin recipe is grain-free, dairy-free, and perfect for those with food sensitivities or those just trying to cut back.

What kind of Apples should I use?

For this recipe we used Honecrisp. It’s important to use a crisp apple when baking. You definitely don’t want a soggy mushy apple. Golden Delicious and Granny Smith apples are also great apples to bake with.

Grain-Free Flour

I’d like to note that for this recipe we used Bake Good Paleo Flour . Bake Good is not in stores, you have to buy it online. I did however test these with Bobs Red Mill Paleo Baking Flour and it worked pretty well. It doesn’t rise quite as nicely but it tastes just as great! I do prefer the Bake Good brand but if you don’t have time to order it, you can definitely sub it out with Bob’s Red Mill Paleo Baking Flour.
