Notes

*If you're using the reusable muffin cups, I like to take my oatmeal cups out as soon as they're cool enough to touch. I find that they can get a bit soggy if they're left to cool in the cups.
*You can substitute 1 large mashed banana for the applesauce, but your cups may have a slight banana flavor to them. 
*If you want these sweeter, increase the maple syrup to 1/3 - 1/2 cup.
*Due to the moisture from the apples, these are best consumed within 1-2 days and then stored in the freezer after that.
