Apple Pie Spice Muffins

These muffins taste like a delicious slice of apple pie but have only 6.5 grams net carbs per serving since there are no wheat or other grain flours nor sugar, only benign healthy ingredients, including Virtue Sweetener.

Makes 6

Muffins:

4 tablespoons butter, softened

2 tablespoons Virtue Sweetener (or other sweetener equivalent to 1/2 cup sugar)

2 eggs, separated

1 cup almond flour

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 medium apple, cored and finely chopped

Topping:

1/2 cup almond flour

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 tablespoon Virtue Sweetener (or other sweetener equivalent to 4 tablespoons sugar)

3 tablespoons butter, cold

Preheat oven to 350º F. Place muffin liners in 6 wells of a 12-muffin baking pan.

In large bowl, combine butter and sweetener and mix.

Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form, then add egg yolks at low-speed, followed by the butter/sweetener mixture. Mix in almond flour followed by cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and apples.

Make topping by combining almond flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sweetener in small bowl, mix together. Add butter and work with fingers until mixed and a crumbly texture is obtained.

Divide muffin batter into 6 muffin liners, then spread topping over each. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until toothpick withdraws dry.
