Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 peeled and grated apple

Toppings

  • Whipped cream
  • Extra cinnamon
  • Maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Get Prepped: Gather all your ingredients and preheat your waffle iron to get it ready for cooking.
  2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, and dark brown sugar, making sure they are evenly mixed.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter until fully blended.
  4. Combine Batter: Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour the wet mixture into the well and gently stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the waffles light and fluffy.
  5. Add Apple: Fold in the peeled and grated apple to the batter to incorporate the fresh fruit and its moisture.
  6. Prepare Waffle Iron: Lightly spray or brush the waffle iron with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  7. Cook Waffles: Spoon batter onto the preheated waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
  8. Serve: Carefully remove the waffles from the iron. Top each waffle with whipped cream, sprinkle with extra cinnamon, and drizzle with maple syrup.
  9. Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy your warm, flavorful apple cinnamon waffles.

  • Adjust the amount of cinnamon to your taste preference for more or less spice.
  • Use fresh apples and grate them finely for the best texture in the waffles.
  • Waffle cooking times may vary depending on your waffle iron model.
  • You can substitute milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
