Gluten Free Cinnamon Apple Muffins
I came up with this healthy gluten free cinnamon apple muffin recipe because I was craving sweets and wanted something with no added sugar (as it was making me break out), that still tasted sweet. You can use other types of apples; pink ladies are just one of my favorite kinds. You can also use honey if you are against using agave, just make sure to add one tbsp of water so the muffins don’t get dried out. These muffins are great with dairy free vanilla ice cream as a dessert or for an on the go snack or breakfast. – Kara, The Accidental Chef
