In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.  In another bowl, whisk the egg, milk, oil and applesauce.  Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.  Fold in apple.  Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups half full.
 
For topping, in a small bowl, combine brown sugar and flour; cut in butter until crumbly.  Add oats.  Sprinkle over muffins.
