Gluten Free Apple Crumble Muffins

These gluten free apple crumble muffins are incredibly easy to make and taste so delicious and sweet.  This gluten free apple crumble muffin recipe has no added sugar in it. I truly love how I can use cinnamon with apples in my baking recipes as a substitute for sugar.  I used cosmic crisp apples for this recipe, but you can use your favorite apples of choice. Please note that if you skip the coconut flour the muffins will not come out as soft and will have more of a grainy texture to them. I would keep these refrigerated after the first day, so they last longer. – Kara
