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 acceptable.
- Gently fold the diced apples into the batter, distributing them evenly.
- Lightly grease the waffle maker and pour about a cup of batter onto the hot plates for each waffle. Cook until golden brown, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- While the waffles cook, combine powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk in a bowl. Whisk until smooth.
- Remove the waffles from the maker. Allow them to cool slightly, then drizzle with the glaze. Sprinkle with additional cinnamon and sugar if desired.
Notes
- For best flavor, use crisp and juicy apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
- Experiment with adding other spices like ginger or cloves to the batter.
- Adjust the glaze thickness by adding more or less milk.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 3 months.
