Preparation
Preheat oven to 350˚F. Line a mini-muffin pan with 12 paper liners.
In a large bowl, combine chickpea and almond flours, apple pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, and sea salt.
In a mini food processor, combine oil, maple syrup, vanilla, and half of the minced apple. Blend until smooth. Fold wet mixture into dry ingredients and stir to combine. Mix in remaining minced apple.
Divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 15 minutes.
