Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 honeycrisp apple, peeled and finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/3 cups all-purpose gluten-free baking flour mix
  • 1/4 tsp xanthan gum (omit if your flour mix contains it already)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup milk

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and apples until the apples are well-coated. Set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk the white sugar and butter until fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix well.
  • To the same bowl, add the flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and milk. Whisk until the batter just comes together. A few dry spots within the batter are fine.
  • Line a muffin tin with liners or spray well with nonstick spray.
  • Fill each muffin cup ⅓ of the way. Top with a tablespoon of the apple mixture in each cup. Top with another few teaspoons of batter, leaving about ¼-inch of space from the top of the muffin tin. Top with a few more apples and repeat until all muffin cups are filled.
  • Bake for 20-22 minutes until golden brown and a cake tester comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm for breakfast or dessert.
