Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 8 muffin cups with paper liners.

• Whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg in a separate bowl. Turn the stand mixer on low and alternate adding in flour mixture and cider, starting with flour and ending with cider. Mix well and remove from stand. Stir in apples with a wooden spoon.
