Preheat oven to 350⁰F.

Line a 12-cup muffin tin with muffin wrappers or spray with cooking spray. Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, flaxseed meal, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine egg, yogurt, applesauce, brown sugar, vanilla and milk.

Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the applesauce mixture. Stir until just combined.

Fold in chopped apples.

Divide batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each to ¾ full. Add a sprinkle of oats and/or brown sugar to the top of each muffin if desired.

Bake muffins for 20-22 minutes, or until top is firm to the touch and toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow muffins to cool in the pan for approximately 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
