Baking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin pan with liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine cold butter with flour, oats, and brown sugar; mix until coarse crumbs.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, milk, and chopped apples until fully blended.
  5. Carefully pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and fold until just combined.
  6. Fill each muffin liner about two-thirds full with the batter.
  7. Sprinkle the prepared streusel topping over each muffin.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Remove muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
