I love apple season! Apple picking is a great family activity. There’s the fresh air, the sun and of course, the apples! There are so many desserts to make; apple pie, apple crisp and apple muffins! Since our family is on the GAPS Diet, we have to keep desserts to a minimum but we can still enjoy muffins! Today I’ll share a GAPS friendly apple cinnamon muffin recipe.

- 5 tablespoons coconut oil (melted), can substitute with butter
- 2 1/2 cups almond flour

Then add coconut oil, eggs, honey and lemon juice and mix into a smooth batter. Add in apples and mix. Pour into muffin liners. Bake approximately 25 to 30 minutes depending on your oven.
