Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line or grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In another bowl, mix pumpkin puree, applesauce, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in diced apple gently.
- In a small bowl, combine oats, brown sugar, flour, melted butter, and cinnamon for the topping.
- Fill muffin cups about 3/4 full with batter. Sprinkle oat topping evenly on top.
- Bake 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
