Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and combine with the unsweetened applesauce, milk, and vanilla extract until well blended.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just moistened. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped apples and rolled oats until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter equally among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
In a small bowl, combine the almond butter and chopped walnuts. Spoon a small amount of this mixture on top of each muffin, pressing it lightly into the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your sugar-free apple crisp muffins as a tasty, guilt-free treat!
