How to Make This:
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp apple pie spice plus 1 tsp, divided (my homemade apple pie spice)
1⁄2 tsp Baking powder
1 tsp Baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
½ cup Brummel & Brown Spread Made with Yogurt
3/4 cup plus
1 Tbsp lakanto Monkfruit golden sweetener with allulose, divided.
2 large Eggs
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
½ cup greek yogurt
1 cup chopped apples
8 oz Philadelphia Cream Cheese, 1/3 Less Fat
⅓ cup Lakanto Monkfruit classic sweetener with allulose
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 420 degrees F°.
In a medium bowl combine flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and 1 Tbsp apple pie spice. Set aside.
In a mixer, combine butter spread and 3/4 cup Lakanto golden and beat at medium speed for 1 minute.
Add eggs and beat for 2 minutes at high speed.
Reduce speed to low, add greek yogurt and applesauce and mix until combined.
Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
Fold in chopped apple.
In 16 lined muffin tins, spoon the batter in, filing almost to the top.
Mix 1 Tbsp lakanto golden and 1 tsp apple pie spice together.
Sprinkle evenly on tops of muffin batter.
To make the cream cheese filling: microwave cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl on low power for 20-30 seconds.
Add ⅓ cup Laknato classic and vanilla extract and whisk until smooth.
Transfer to a piping bag (or a ziplock bag) and cut the tip off.
Pip in cream cheese filling into the batter, about 1-2 Tbsp plus per muffin.
Bake for 5 minutes at 420F, then keeping the muffins in the oven, lower the oven temperature to 350F and bake for about 15-18 more minutes, or until the muffins are golden on top.
Remove the muffins from the pan and let cool on a cooling rack.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days.
Enjoy!
