Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Generously spray a muffin pan with nonstick spray.
Whisk all of the ingredients together, except for the apples (and nuts and coarse sugar), in 1 large bowl.
Using a spoon or rubber spatula, fold in the apples and nuts. The batter will be a little liquid-y.
Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups, making sure both the oats/apples and liquid are in each.
Fill all the way to the top.
If desired, sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned and the top appears set.
If the tops appear to brown very quickly, tent a piece of aluminum foil on top.
Cool for 5 minutes before serving.
