Bite Sized Apple Crisp

I wanted to make some baked oatmeal with apples in muffin pans so that we could pull them out of the freezer for quick snacks or breakfast.  I found a muffin recipe - probably could have just used my baked oatmeal recipe and altered the time, but this one is rather yummy!

Ingredients:
1 1/2 c. old fashioned oats (gf for us)
1 1/4 c. whole wheat flour, sifted (gf flour substitute for us)
1/2 c packed brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 c. unsweetened applesauce (organic cinnamon for us)
3 T canola oil (sunflower oil for us)
1 egg white
1 T 100% pure maple syrup
1 apple, peeled and diced

Topping:
1/4 c old fashioned oats (gf for us)
1 T brown sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 T melted butter

Preheat over to 400.  Mix dry ingredients in large bowl.  Mix wet ingredients in small bowl.  Mix both together.  Fill muffin tins with mixture.  I used paper liners and a mini muffin pan.  Mix topping and spoon on top of muffins.  I could have used a second batch of the topping - not enough for all my mini muffins.  Bake regular sized muffins for 16-18 minutes.  I baked my 2 trays of minis for about 10 minutes - or until a toothpick comes out clean.  

I make my apple crisp with oatmeal & flour so this reminded Riley of dessert rather than breakfast and he thought it was an extra special treat!

**UPDATE**  I made these again tonight because 1/2 of my batch from yesterday was already gone!  I made regular sized muffins and they are even yummier (is that a word?) than the bite sized!  We are trying to move away from cereals/processed breakfasts but it's a lot more work for me and we don't have the freezer space so I can make a bunch of things at once and pull them out when we need them for lunches or breakfasts...Soon though!
