Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Liberally grease 12 muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray or line with paper cups.

Step 2

Begin by making the crumb topping. In a medium bowl combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter and egg yolk until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3

For the apple muffin batter, in a large bowl beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and sugar until pale, light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add in the yogurt or sour cream, eggs, and vanilla to mix until very well combined.

Step 5

Add the gluten-free flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Combine on medium-low speed until no flour pockets remain. Finally, mix in the chopped apples on low speed.

Step 6

Divide the batter between the muffin tins, filling all the way to the top. Break off chunks of crumb topping until evenly divided on top. Press down gently to adhere the crumb topping to the batter. Bake for 18-20 minutes, rotating halfway through. Insert a toothpick, beyond the crumb topping into the muffin, to make sure it comes out without any wet batter.

Step 7

Cool the muffins in the pan for 5 minutes then gently pop out onto a wire rack to cool. For the glaze, whisk together all the ingredients and drizzle on top. Let the glaze harden before storing.
