Paleo Apple Cinnamon Streusel Muffins

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a muffin pan with muffin tins/liners or spray well with coconut oil.
2. In a small bowl, mix the streusel topping ingredients & set it aside.
3. Warm 1 tbsp coconut oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the diced apple and cinnamon and sauté until apple softens, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tbsp maple syrup. Set aside & allow to cool.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together wet ingredients including vanilla, eggs, lemon zest & juice, coconut oil, & almond milk. In a separate bowl, mix all dry ingredients including almond flour, baking soda, salt, & coconut sugar.
5. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet and mix until combined.
6. Then fold the sautéed apples into the batter, making sure to get all of those cinnamony juices from the skillet into the batter.
7. Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tins.
8. Sprinkle each muffin w/ a generous pinch of the streusel topping.
9. Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick is inserted & comes out clean.
