After avoiding a very tempting smorgasbord of muffins this past Sunday at church, I knew I had to make some for my husband and I this week to fulfill the craving. Muffins are one of my favorites!
These Paleo Apple Cinnamon Muffins did not disappoint. They're easy to make, come out of the oven soft and fluffy, and oh yeah, let's not forget the always amazing flavor combo of apple and cinnamon...mmmmmm.
They're also gluten free, vegetarian, and, unlike most of my other favorite Paleo muffin recipes, nut free. I'll definitely be adding these babies into the regular muffin rotation!

Check out those little chunks of apple nestled inside...yum!
