Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin tin with 11 muffin liners.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry muffin ingredients. This includes the almond flour, tapioca starch, apple pie spice, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Mix in the wet muffin ingredients. This incudes the eggs, applesauce, maple syrup and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
Make the topping and filling by combining all ingredients in a small bowl.
Scoop a small portion of the batter into each slot of your lined muffin tin (about 1/2 inch deep).
Sprinkle some of the filling/topping in each slot of the muffin tin, on top of the batter. You'll use about 1/2 tablespoon per muffin.
Scoop the remaining batter in each muffin slot, covering the filling.
Top the muffins with the remaining filling/topping mixture.
Place the muffins in your oven and bake at 250 degrees F for 24-26 minutes.
When done baking, cool the muffins to room temperature on a wire cooling rack.
For the icing, combine all icing ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk until fully combined.
Drizzle the icing over the cooled muffins.
