Preheat oven to 425°F, line a 14 muffin cups - 12-cup pan and 2 more - with cupcake liners, and lightly spray insides with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together whole wheat pastry flour, vanilla protein powder, unflavored protein powder, cinnamon, baking powder and baking soda.
In another bowl, whisk applesauce, Greek yogurt, almond milk and eggs.
Add dry mix to wet, and gently fold until combined.
Add copped apples and gently fold again. DO NOT OVER-MIX or too much gluten will form from the wheat flour, and make the muffins dense.
Divide the batter among muffin cups, about ¾ way to the top.
In a bowl, toss chopped apples, brown sugar and cinnamon.
Sprinkle on top of muffins.
Bake for 5 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350°F (leaving muffins in oven) and bake another 13-15 minutes (total of 18-23 min).
A toothpick inserted into center should come out dry.
Cool for 10 minutes, then remove pan. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 15 minutes, and enjoy.
