Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 180°C (360°F). Grease a muffin tin with avocado oil or line it with muffin liners.

Add Apples and Nuts
Gently fold in the chopped apples and nuts into the batter.
Fill the Muffin Tin
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Cool and Serve
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
