Cut the cold butter slices into the mixture either using a pastry cutter or a fork.
Once the mixture has a “crumbly” consistency, wrap with plastic and refrigerate.
To make the muffins, start by sifting together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, and butter.
Slowly add dry ingredients into the egg mixture, alternating with the cup of milk.
Fold chopped apples into the batter.
Scoop the muffin batter into coated muffin tin, filling it about ¾ of the way.
