Skinny GF & Fat free Sweet Potato Apple Muffins

I wanted something yummy this morning for breakfast,  so I put my thinking cap on and threw together the healthiest ingredients that I could find in my pantry!  Originally I felt like a sweet potato pie...but that was way too much work and calories.  So this is what I came up with and you know what? sometimes little miracles happen and you get to reap the rewards.  I ate two right out of the oven and they are delish!!
