Apple Nut Oatmeal Muffins

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Coat a 6-count jumbo muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients (flour through salt).
3. Whisk together the wet ingredients (milk through vanilla) in a large measuring cup.
4. Slowly stir the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined. The batter will be thick.
5. Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin pan.
6. Combine the topping ingredients in a small bowl and sprinkle over the top of the batter.
7. Bake for 40 minutes or until golden and they spring back to the touch. You can test with a toothpick for done-ness if you are not sure. When you insert a toothpick into the center of the muffin it should come out clean.
8. Remove from the oven, set pan on a rack and carefully run a knife around the edges of the muffins. Allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before inverting them out of the pan.

Yield: 6 jumbo muffins.
