Do you like apples?

Mmmm... apple season.


Anyone know of any apple orchards near the cities? If you take me to one I can promise you some apple crisp!

The muffins I made today were a bit of an experiment, but I was pretty satisfied with the results! They're very moist, but the texture is spot on!

These will be great breakfast fuel tomorrow. It's going to be a long day.


Apple Cinnamon Muffins
Makes 12 muffins

1/2 cup brown rice flour
1/4 cup sweet rice flour
1/2 cup sorghum flour
1/4 cup tapioca starch/flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon allspice

1/2 cup apple sauce
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/3 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons agave nectar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 eggs
2-3 tablespoons milk

1 1/2 cups chopped apples
1/2 cup pecans or walnuts (optional)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F

Whisk together the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.

In a smaller mixing bowl, mix together all of the wet ingredients.

Fold the wet ingredients into the dry, gradually.

Fold in apples and nuts.

Fill the greased muffin tin evenly with batter. Sprinkle brown sugar on top if you desire a crunchy texture. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
