Instructions

  1. First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line muffin pan with paper liners.
  2. Prepare the crumb topping first. Chop butter into small cubes. Add butter and all other ingredients to mixing bowl.
  3. Use your hands or a fork to break up the butter and mix the ingredients. It will be crumbly. Place in fridge while you make the muffins.
  4. Peel and grate a large apple. Use paper towels to squeeze out all excess moisture.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, ginger and nutmeg. Stir to combine.
  6. Then, add remaining muffin ingredients and grated apple. Stir until combined.
  7. Spoon batter into lined muffin pan. Fill about ¾ of the way to the top of each muffin liner. Sprinkle crumb topping over each muffin.
  8. Bake for 16 to 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. Cool muffins for 10 minutes in pan then carefully transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Notes

  • Crumb topping can be made with chilled coconut oil.  I recommend butter but use coconut oil if needed.
  • The crumb topping dough will be crumbly and not uniform.  
  • Sprinkle, do not press, crumb topping onto muffins.
  • Feel free to use any variety of apple.  I used honey crisp because they are sweet.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.  Do not over bake!
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.  Store in fridge for up to 5 days.
