- 1 1/2 cups finely chopped apples peel optional
- 1/3 cup coconut oil melted
- 1 cup milk room temperature
- 2 teaspoons white vinegar mixed with milk
- 1/3 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 large egg

Instructions
Warm the coconut oil until liquid. Bring the milk to room temperature, stir in the vinegar, and let it stand for a few minutes.
Heat the oven to 350°F. Whisk the coconut oil, buttermilk mixture, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth. Add both flours, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and allspice; stir just until combined. Fold in the apples and portion into a lined or greased muffin tin.
Melt the topping butter and stir it with the sugar and cinnamon. Spoon a little over each muffin.
Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown and the tops spring back when gently pressed.
