4.6 from 53 reviews

Delicious homemade apple waffles combining the sweet and tart flavors of fresh apples with warm cinnamon spice, perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or melted butter (optional for richness)

Fruit

  • 1 large apple, peeled, cored, and diced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and cinnamon until evenly combined. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the milk and oil or melted butter if using.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently to combine into a smooth batter. Fold in the diced apples carefully, ensuring they are evenly distributed without overmixing.
  3. Preheat Waffle Iron: Heat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions and lightly grease it if needed to prevent sticking.
  4. Cook Waffles: Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the waffle iron (usually about 1/2 to 3/4 cup), close the lid, and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, typically 4-6 minutes depending on your appliance.
  5. Serve Warm: Remove the waffles carefully, serve immediately with your choice of toppings like maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit for a delightful breakfast treat.

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a nice contrast against the sweetness of the batter.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or vanilla extract to the batter.
  • To keep waffles crisp, place cooked waffles on a wire rack in a single layer rather than stacking them.
  • These waffles freeze well; reheat in a toaster for a quick breakfast.
