Ingredients

Scale

Waffle Batter

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 3/4 cups milk
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter

Additional Ingredients

  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare Waffle Batter: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well blended. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently to form a smooth batter.
  2. Fold in Apples: Carefully fold the diced apples into the waffle batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed but without overmixing, so the batter remains light and airy.
  3. Preheat Waffle Iron: Heat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches the ideal cooking temperature.
  4. Cook Waffles: Lightly grease the waffle iron if necessary. Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron, spreading it evenly but avoiding overflow. Close the iron and cook for about 4–6 minutes or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp on the outside.
  5. Serve: Carefully remove the waffles and serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a nice balance of sweet and tart flavors.
  • Add nuts, such as chopped walnuts or pecans, for additional texture and flavor.
  • To keep waffles crispy before serving, place them on a wire rack in a warm oven at 200°F (93°C).
  • For a fluffier texture, separate egg whites and beat them to soft peaks before folding them gently into the batter.
