How to Make Apple Cinnamon Muffins With Crumble Topping Gluten Free

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together: 1/2 cup brown rice flour, 1/2 cup white rice flour, 1/4 cup tapioca starch, 1/4 cup potato starch, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp guar gum, 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1 tsp ground cinnamon.
  3. Add 1/3 cup canola oil, 1 large egg, 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce, and 1 cup chopped apples (about 1 medium apple).
  4. Stir gently until just combined. Add 1-2 tablespoons of milk or water if the batter is too thick.
  5. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners and lightly grease the liners.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full.
  7. In a small bowl, combine: 1/4 cup ground cashews or almond meal, 1 tbsp brown rice flour, 2 tbsp packed light brown sugar, 1 tbsp canola oil, and 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon.
  8. Mix until crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over the muffin batter.
  9. Bake for 26-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
