To make Apple Cinnamon Gems, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1 medium-sized apple, peeled and grated
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated apple, flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can result in tough and dry gems.
Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, fill each muffin cup with the batter until it reaches about 3/4 full. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the gems are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once done, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the gems cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the delicious combination of sweet apples and warm cinnamon.
Apple Cinnamon Gems are a perfect dessert for any occasion, whether it's a family gathering or a dinner party. They are easy to make and can be prepared in advance, making them a great option for busy hosts. The gems have a soft and fluffy texture, with a sweet and spicy flavor that will leave you wanting more.
