Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
Peel, core, and finely dice the apples. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, 0.5 cup of brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, eggs, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Fold in the diced apples gently into the batter.
Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tins, filling each about 3/4 full.
For the topping, in a small bowl, mix together the gluten-free rolled oats, remaining 0.25 cup of brown sugar, chopped pecans, and maple syrup.
Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the muffin batter.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
