Ingredients  

  • ½ cup sugar
  • 6 tablespoon butter - room temp
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup gluten free flour blend
  • ¼ cup finely ground almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon fine salt
  • 1 cup apple such as Honeycrisp, Cripps Pink, Envy or Pink Lady all work well - peeled, cored and chopped to ¼" dice

Topping:

  • 2 teaspoon sugar
  • ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees (*note that you will be turning the temp down to 350 degrees after 7 minutes of baking). Generously grease or line muffin tins.
  • In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add the eggs and combine well. Follow by adding the yogurt and vanilla and mixing well.
  • In a small bowl stir together the gluten free flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
  • Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients with your mixer on a low speed. Once the dry ingredients are incorporated, turn the mixer to a high speed to work out any lumps,
  • Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold the diced apple into the batter.
  • Spoon the batter into the muffin tins, filling about ⅔ of the way. Mix the remaining sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle on top of the muffin batter.
  • Bake at 425 degrees for 7-8 minutes, watching to be sure they have begun to rise well. Then turn the oven down to 350 degrees and continue to bake for another 10-12 minutes. Once they no longer feel soft in the center, they can be removed from the oven. Let cool in the muffin tins for 5-10 minutes before eating. Sprinkle with a little more cinnamon-sugar if you wish.
