Got apples? ⁠ ⁠

As per the autumnal tradition, last week some I went (socially distanced!) apple-picking with some friends! ⁠ ⁠ My hubby and I came home with a HUGE bag of apples (mostly empire, they test THE BEST right now). ⁠ ⁠

For some, this may cause panic... WHAT THE HECK AM I GONNA DO WITH ALL THESE APPLES!?!⁠ ⁠ I am SO not scared. ⁠ I cannot wait to make AAALLLLL THE RECIPEEES! 😜⁠ ⁠

First up? Apple Spice (& Everything Nice!) Muffins! ⁠ ⁠

As always, these babies are:⁠ ⁠

✔️ Paleo (which also means #grainfree #glutenfree)⁠

✔️ Dairy-Free⁠

✔️ Refined Sugar-Free (it's all about that maple syrup, yo!)⁠

✔️ 100% Fall Goooodnesss⁠ ⁠

I've definitely needed to be baking something new each week with this pregnancy! When you can't just go out and buy those traditionally craved baked goods... or you could but you'd be poor 'cause gluten-free is expensive AF... it is a MUST to plan some home-baking to get you through the week. & These hit the spot! ⁠ ⁠

Pro tip: Reheat these babies and drizzle some almond butter & extra cinnamon on top for pure decadence. ⁠ ⁠
