Preheat the oven to 350 (if using honey) or, 425 if you are using regular maple syrup.
In a large bowl, combine the wet ingredients.
Gently add the dry ingredients just until moistened.
Fold in the apples into the batter. The batter will be thick and lumpy (that is OK!)
Level out into the muffin pan and divide the batter equally.
Bake for 13-15 minutes - remove when the toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool completely before enjoying.
