1
Preheat oven to 170 degrees C (about 340 degrees F) for fan-forced or 185 degrees C (about 365 degrees F) for standard.

Place muffin liners in a 12-cup muffin tin and set aside.
3
In a small bowl, place the chopped apple and microwave for 2-3 minutes until apples start to soften.
4
In a large bowl, mix together applesauce, sugar, eggs and vanilla.
5
Sift in the flour, xanthan, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon; mix.
6
Stir in the apple cider until just mixed (dont overmix).
7
Place 1 tablespoon batter into each muffin cup, followed by 1 teaspoon of apple mixture.
8
Use remaining batter to fill each muffin cup.
9
Place 1 tablespoon or so of granola on top.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Note: I tented the pan with foil after about 10 minutes to prevent the granola from burning.

Alternatively, you could add the granola at about the 10-minute mark.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
