Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 0.75 cups milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups apple, peeled, cored, and finely diced
• 0.75 cups macadamia nuts, roughly chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.

Step 4

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold in the diced apple and chopped macadamia nuts to distribute them evenly in the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
