- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line muffin tin with 12 paper or silicone liners or use oil to grease the muffin cups.
- Sift or whisk your flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon into a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Using a mixer, cream together sugar, egg, oil and vanilla. The color will be a light yellow.
- Add wet mixture to the dry ingredients and gently mix until combined. This thick batter will feel almost like cookie dough. Mix in the diced apples and 1 cup of classic almond granola.
- Fill muffin cups 3/4 full, almost to the top.
- Put the muffins in the oven for 10 minutes - half of the baking time.
- While the muffins are baking, make the granola topping. Mix 1/2 cup of granola with 1 Tbsp of honey.
- After muffins have baked for the first 10 minutes, remove them from the oven. Using a spoon, add a scoop of granola with honey to the top to each muffin.
- Put apple muffins back in the oven for a second 10 minutes.
Once they have cooled, you can gently lift the apple granola muffins out of the tin and onto a plate or into your mouth!
