These Gluten Free Apple and Cinnamon Muffins are delicious eaten warm straight from the oven…they are sweet, soft and delicious (and gluten free!)
So, these are the muffins we made when we need to use up the last of the apples sitting in the fruit bowl…you know the ones that everyone picks up, then promptly puts back …just to choose the one right next to it.
To put these ‘unloved’ apples to good use….we grate them and throw them in with gluten-free flour and a good dusting of cinnamon…plus a few other ingredients and we end up with warm, delicious gluten-free muffins!
At my home….we don’t ice them because….well….they never last long enough!
We eat them warm straight from the oven, with just a touch of melted butter brushed on top and extra sprinkling of cinnamon!
