4 Ingredient Gluten Free Apple Muffins
If you have Apple Pie Spice or Pumpkin Pie Spice in your pantry these muffins can be made with just 4 ingredients. Mix 1 teaspoon of either spice blend into the cake mix in place of the individual spices.
Gluten Free Apple Muffin Mix Ins
Use about ½ cup of the following optional mix ins to give the muffins additional flavor and texture.

Do Muffin Tins Need Liners
