Prepare the Oats:
In a bowl, combine the oatmeal with the milk of your choice. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, allowing the oats to absorb the milk and soften.
Cook the Apples:
In a medium skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
Add the chopped apples and sauté for about 10 minutes, or until the apples are soft and slightly caramelized. Stir in a pinch of salt and vanilla extract for added flavor.
Prepare the Muffin Mixture:
Preheat your oven to 360°F (180°C).
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the softened oatmeal mixture, cooked apples, and chopped walnuts. Stir everything until well combined.
Bake the Muffins:
Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
Evenly divide the muffin mixture among the prepared cups.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve:
Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
