How to Make Apple Streusel Muffins

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a medium bowl, combine the apples, flour (from dry ingredients), and caramel sauce (reserve 1 tablespoon for drizzling).
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in the apples mixture.
Prepare the streusel topping: In a small bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter. Using your fingers or a pastry blender, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full with batter.
Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the muffins.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Drizzle with the reserved 1 tablespoon of caramel sauce, if desired.
