Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups diced apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- Oil, for greasing the waffle maker
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- Fold in the diced apples, cinnamon, and nutmeg into the batter.
- Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions and lightly grease it with oil.
- Spoon the apple batter onto the preheated waffle maker, covering about 3/4 of the surface. Close the lid and cook until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes.
- While the waffles are cooking, prepare the glaze by combining the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Stir until smooth.
- Once the waffles are finished, carefully remove them and place on a wire rack.
- Using a round cutter, cut out donut-shaped circles from each waffle.
