Apple Pie Protein Muffins






      Lucky for us, Apples are a favorite all year round!  I love having an apple a day, just like the doctor ordered…and yes, I am a follower!  These are special and unique because there is no added sugar or fat, but delicious none the same.  If you need a little extra sweetness, knock yourself out and add some Monk Fruit.  As I have gone completely off sugar, I have noticed all things tasting a little sweeter to me, even life in general.  Each of these 12 servings are only 104 calories, 10.6g carbs, 1.5g fiber, 9.1g net carbs, 7.5g protein and 4g fat.  Perfect macros for the perfect Muffin!
