Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup whole milk
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups peeled and diced apples (about 2 medium apples)
- ½ cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
- Additional cinnamon and sugar for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle maker according to its instructions.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add the sugar, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.
- Gently fold the diced apples into the batter, distributing them evenly throughout.
- Lightly grease the waffle maker and pour about a cup of batter onto the hot plates for each waffle. Cook until golden brown, usually about 4-5 minutes.
- While the waffles are cooking, combine powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk in a bowl. Whisk until smooth and set aside for the glaze.
- Once cooked, remove the waffles from the maker. Allow them to cool slightly, then drizzle the glaze over each waffle. Sprinkle with additional cinnamon and sugar for an extra touch.
Notes
- Use crisp and juicy apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for maximum flavor.
- Experiment with other spices like ginger or cloves to enhance the flavor.
- Adjust the glaze thickness by adding more or less milk.
- For a vegan option, substitute eggs with flaxseed meal and use non-dairy milk and butter.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Freeze for up to 3 months in an airtight freezer bag. Reheat in a toaster.
