Instructions
- Make crumb topping by combining flour, oats, sugar, and cinnamon in small bowl. Use a fork or your fingers to mix softened butter/oil into the flour mixture until crumbly. Set aside.
- Mix together the dry ingredients—flour, oats, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a small dish, mix together the milk and vinegar. Pour milk mixture and oil into the dry ingredients, stirring until combined. Fold in the chopped apples. Let batter rest for 10-15 minutes while oven preheats.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or grease well. Scoop batter into each liner filling 3/4 full, then sprinkle streusel mixture on top. Makes 10-12 muffins, depending on how much you fill each liner.
- Bake the Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until tops have domed and a toothpick inserted near the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let muffins cool for a few minutes before taking out of the pan to cool completely.
