Cooking Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, salt, and granulated sugar.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredient bowl, folding gently until just combined.
  4. Carefully fold in the diced apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  5. Allow the batter to rest for 5-10 minutes.
