The apples in these gluten free cinnamon apple muffins are extra special because they came right from my own backyard and my generous neighbours’ trees! After gathering the freshest apples, I knew they had to be turned into something delicious—and these muffins are the perfect way to showcase their flavour.
These gluten free cinnamon apple muffins are a delicious blend of fresh apples, warm spices, and a soft, fluffy texture. Perfect for breakfast or a snack, they capture the comforting flavours of fall in every bite, and you’d never guess they’re gluten free!

Crumble on top
The best part of these gluten free apple cinnamon muffins? The buttery crumble topping! Made with a blend of gluten free flour, sugar, and a hint of cinnamon, it adds a perfect sweet crunch that complements the soft, spiced muffin beneath.
