  • 2 Apples Use fuji for sweeter flavor or granny smith for mild flavor.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 F.
  • Peel and core the apples, then chop into small dices and put them in a bowl.
  • Line the muffin pan with paper muffin cups. Measure the flour the baking powder, and 1 tsp of ground cinnamon into another bowl.
  • Whisk together the 2/3 cup of stevia, the honey, yogurt, vegetable oil, and eggs in another separate bowl.
  • Chop the almonds and add half of them to the flour mixture. Put the other half of the almonds into a small bowl with the second tsp fo ground cinnamon and the 4 extra tsp fo stevia. This will make the topping for the muffin.
  • Now, mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Add the chopped apples and stir to combine but don't over mix.
  • Spoon this bumpy batter into the paper muffin cups, then sprinkle the rubbly topping mixture over them.
  • Put the pan into the preheated oven and cook for approximately 25 minutes, or until ready (check the muffins with a toothpick until it's ready)
  • Remove the pan from the oven and let it stand for about 5 minutes before taking out the muffins and placing them on the cooling rack.

Notes

Of course you can use any type of sweetener you like or brown sugar. I had stevia at home in that point of time.
