In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
Gently mix the dry ingredients into the wet using a spatula. Avoid over mixing as this might make your final product too dry.
Carefully fold in the chopped apples.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and top with a handful of apple pieces.
