["Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees F and line your muffin pan cups with paper liners. I use ""Unbleached Totally Chlorine-Free (TCF)"" liners to bake in, then place my muffins in decorator papers for serving.", "Cut the apple into small pieces (about 2 cups).", "In a small bowl, whisk the egg lightly. Add the buttermilk, vanilla, yogurt and oil, and whisk until combined.", "Add the oats to the wet ingredients and let them rest for 15 minutes. This will keep the oatmeal from being too dry.", "In a large bowl, whisk the dry ingredients together. Flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and spices.", "Fold the chopped apples into the dry ingredients. This will help keep them from sinking to the bottom of the bowl when mixed with the wet ingredients.", "Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a fork or large spoon or spatula, blend briefly. Do not over mix.", "Fill the muffins cups completely full. Sprinkle the tops with a little sugar.", "Place the muffins in the oven and immediately reduce the heat to 350 degrees F.", "Bake the muffins for 25 to 30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.", "Remove from the oven and as soon as possible move them to a cooling rack."]

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
