These Apple Spice Crumb Muffins are easy to make with simple ingredients that are gluten free and dairy free!

Fall flavors make me so happy!! And if you asked me to choose I would choose apple over pumpkin any day.  Apples are pretty widely appreciated because i’m pretty sure they hold a happy place in our hearts from a young age. Between apple juice and applesauce as kids, then learning to appreciate the crisp sweetness of a honeycrisp apple as an adult, they are just the BEST!  These muffins have both applesauce, chopped apples and all of the good apple pie spices  in them to get you extra excited for fall. And I couldn’t make a muffin recipe without adding a crumb topping.  Now you can totally leave off the topping if you wanted them to be extra healthy, but the sweetness and little crunch just make it all come together so beautifully.  Ruth really loved these muffins and because she is smart, she devours the topping first.  If you aren’t a fan of chunks of apple in your muffin you can also shred the apple so they disperse more – you do you!  In this recipe we use a combo of oats and almond flour for the best nutrition and texture.  Let’s make muffins!
