In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated white sugar until well combined.

Add the melted unsalted butter, dark rum, pure vanilla extract, and pure almond extract to the egg mixture and mix well.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Fold in the diced Honeycrisp apple.

Pour the batter into a prepared baking dish.
