  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

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

Add-ins and Toppings

  • 1 peeled and grated apple
  • Whipped cream (for topping)
  • Extra cinnamon (for topping)
  • Maple syrup (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Get prepped: Gather all ingredients and prepare your waffle iron by preheating it according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, and dark brown sugar until well blended.
  3. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and melted butter until fully combined.
  4. Make the batter: Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then pour in the wet mixture. Stir gently just until combined to avoid overmixing.
  5. Add grated apple: Fold in the peeled and grated apple carefully to distribute it evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Prepare waffle iron: Lightly spray the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray or brush with melted butter to prevent sticking.
  7. Cook the waffles: Pour the batter onto the waffle iron in batches, cooking according to your waffle iron’s instructions until golden brown and crisp.
  8. Serve and garnish: Remove waffles from the iron and top with whipped cream, a sprinkle of extra cinnamon, and a generous drizzle of maple syrup.
  9. Enjoy: Serve immediately and savor every bite of these warm, flavorful waffles.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep waffles light and fluffy.
  • You can substitute milk with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free variation.
  • Use a tart apple like Granny Smith for a nice balance of sweetness and tang.
  • Leftover waffles can be frozen and reheated in a toaster for a quick breakfast.
  • Adding a pinch of nutmeg can enhance the spice flavor if desired.
