Peel and core the apples, and cut into pieces approximately 1 x 1 x 0.3 cm in size. Finely chop the white chocolate, preferably with a sharp knife. Cubes no larger than 5 mm in size! Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a muffin tin with baking cups. Combine the butter, eggs, vanilla sugar, baking powder, ground almonds, vanilla paste, poppy seeds, sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a bowl and mix with a mixer until you have a smooth, even batter. Add the apples and chocolate chips and mix in with a spoon. Fill the muffin tins with batter to just a few millimeters below the rim. Bake in the center of the oven for approximately 25-30 minutes. Let cool and garnish with granulated or powdered sugar, if desired.
