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 flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat eggs, then add sugar, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Gradually fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold diced apples into the batter.
- Lightly grease the waffle maker and pour about a cup of batter per waffle. Cook until golden brown (4-5 minutes).
- While waffles cook, whisk powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth for the glaze.
- Remove waffles from the maker, let cool slightly, drizzle with glaze, and sprinkle with additional cinnamon and sugar.
Notes
- Use fresh, crisp apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for best flavor.
- Experiment with other spices like ginger or cloves.
- Adjust glaze thickness by adding more or less milk.
- For a vegan option, use flaxseed meal mixed with water instead of eggs, and non-dairy milk and butter.
