      Step 1: Make the Flavor-Packed Batter<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \n

        Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      2. \n

        In a large bowl, whisk together flour, \u00bd cup sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      3. \n

        In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      4. \n

        Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir until just combined\u2014lumps are okay, don\u2019t overmix.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      5. \n

        Gently fold in the chopped apples.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Step 2: Scoop & Bake<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n

          3. \n

            Place on a wire rack to set briefly before serving.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
