Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 large apple, peeled and grated
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron on a medium-high heat setting.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, and dark brown sugar.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and melted butter until combined.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture.
Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Fold the peeled and grated apple gently into the batter.
Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron and cook according to the iron’s instructions until golden and crisp.
Notes
Use Honeycrisp or Gala apples for the best flavor and moisture balance. Ensure the waffle iron is fully preheated for the crispest exterior. You can substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend if needed.
