Gluten Free Apple Cinnamon Streusel Muffins

Taylor has been on my back to make some Apple Cinnamon Muffins. I don't know why I drug my feet making them for her. Probably because I don't like having around a ton of sweets. What I really like about these muffins, is that if you keep them in the freezer and pull them out one at a time and heat up in the toaster oven, they make for a great treat with your morning coffee or tea. I tried to healthy them up a bit by using coconut flour. Apples, Cinnamon and Coconut are all good for you. Yes, there is sugar and I would still consider this to be a splurge, but sometimes a splurge is just what you need. These turned out light and fluffy and scrumptious.
