How to Make Oat And Apple Crumble Top Muffins

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
2. **Make the crumble topping:** In a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, pecans, whole wheat flour, cold butter, and cinnamon. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. **Prepare the muffin batter:** In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, oil, egg, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract.
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Fold in the diced apple.
7. Fill the prepared muffin cups about three-quarters full.
8. Sprinkle each muffin generously with the crumble topping.
9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
