Ingredients

• Topping Ingredients:
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 apple, peeled and chopped small
• 1/2 cup canola oil
• 2 cups white whole wheat flour (or all-purpose)
• 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 Tbsp. baking powder
• 3/4 tsp. salt
• 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/4 cup chopped nuts (I used walnuts)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400º. Grease bottoms of muffin tin.
In a mixing bowl, beat egg and stir in milk, apple and oil. Stir in remaining ingredients all at once and stir until just moistened. The batter will be slightly lumpy. Fill 12 muffin cups about 3/4 full.

In a small bowl, mix together the topping ingredients. Sprinkle evenly over tops of uncooked muffins. Bake until golden brown, about 16-20 minutes (keep checking to see if they're finished cooking!) Remove pan from oven and immediately remove from muffin tin and cool on a rack. Enjoy!
