Gluten Free Apple Muffins with Streusel Topping

I called my mom yesterday, she was mid prep for Sunday dinner.

Me: “What's for dinner mom?”
Mom: “Oh, just a simple dinner tonight; butternut squash salad w/ warm apple cider vinegar dressing and shaved parmesan, sole meuniere, roasted fennel and asparagus, and profiteroles for dessert.”

Yup, that's the kind of house I grew up in and boy do I wish I was home in Pennsylvania yesterday to chow down on that menu!

I can't say I follow in my Mom's footsteps exactly… but I do love a Sunday in the kitchen. So yesterday I spent most of the day testing recipes and playing.

The big winner of the day were these incredible gluten free apple muffins with a streusel topping. They remind me slightly of my Mom's incredible apple cake, but in muffin form – because small is cute and fun.

You guys, muffins are amazing – am I right? They are basically cake – portion controlled. These happen to be really good for you portion control cake bites. Such a simple ingredient list you honestly can't go wrong.

So even though my Mom was dining on Sole Meuniere and I was basically eating mini cakes all day – at least they were these mini-cakes and they were damn good!
