Ahhhhh, the smell of fresh apples is in the air, friends! Yes, I am a self-proclaimed SUMMER LOVER, but the one thing I do actually like about fall is the opportunity to go apple picking. In fact, I go several times over the course of the season. I think apples are my most loved fruit. I have at least 2 everyday and there are so many different varieties I enjoy! Some faves include… Honey Crisp  Fuji  Pink Lady  Crispin  Macintosh (ONLY fresh picked ones though….if they’ve been sitting, they get too soft and mealy!!) But really, I’m not too picky!! As long as an apple is sweet, juicy, and CRUNCHY, I’m a fan! And there’s nothing more fun than trekking out to the country with my family and friends to pick some apples right out of the trees! Climbing the ladders, biting into our freshly picked bounty, and enjoying fresh apple cider afterwards is just the best. The place we go happens to have Apple Cider DONUTS too…so that’s just a bonus! We’re not talking about donuts today, however. We’re talking about something even more delicious. Something even more festive for fall. A staple of apple season if you will. Apple Crisp. But not just any traditional apple crisp recipe….Apple Crisp MUFFINS. And they just happen to be paleo, vegan, gluten & grain-free! Inspired by my favorite Bob’s Red Mill baking ingredients, I wanted to make a fall treat that was safe for everyone and ANYone to eat during this tasty time of year. I know it can be tough for those with different allergies to find treats that suit their diet, so why not use healthy, wholesome ingredients that work for any lifestyle? For this recipe, I opted for Bob’s Extra Fine Almond Flour, Date Sugar, Coconut Flour, and Baking Soda! Even before testing the recipe, I had a pretty good feeling it would turn out amazing based on the high quality, nutrient dense ingredients that Bob’s produces. They are truly my GO-TO source for ingredients. So why muffins you ask? Well, let’s be honest…apple crisp isn’t the easiest of treats to eat on the go. It’s messy, it’s crumbly, and it doesn’t make for the most graceful consumption. Muffins in comparison are easily handheld and packable in lunch boxes for people young and old! I know if I packed a lunch regularly, I’d LOVE opening it up and finding one of these amazing muffins inside! Print Soft, fluffy, and so rich tasting! The light, sweet crumble topping will have you wanting more than one muffin at once! You’ll think you’re biting into a classic, calorie-laden apple crisp upon trying this recipe. But nope! These Paleo Apple Crisp Muffins are perfectly healthy, naturally sweetened, and provide loads of nutrients from all the whole food Bob’s Red Mill ingredients. Fall really doesn’t get any better when you have recipes like this to try! Plus, now you have more excuses to go apples picking. :)
