Equipment

  • Skillet
  • waffle iron
  • Mixing bowls

Ingredients

For the Waffle Batter

  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Can be substituted with a 1:1 gluten-free baking mix
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar Can replace with granulated sugar if desired
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg Optional; can omit if preferred
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Essential—do not omit
  • 2 large Eggs Can use flax eggs for a vegan option
  • 1 1/2 cups Milk Non-dairy milk works as an alternative
  • 1/2 cup Melted Butter Substitute with vegetable oil or coconut oil for a dairy-free version
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Optional; can be omitted if necessary

For the Apple Filling

  • 3 cups Apples (Diced, peeled) Ideal varieties include Granny Smith or Honeycrisp
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice Can be replaced with vinegar for acidity
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar Adjust based on the sweetness of the apples
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon For apples
  • 2 tablespoons Cornstarch Could substitute with flour, but texture may differ
  • 1/2 cup Water

Instructions

Steps to Prepare

  • In a skillet over medium heat, combine diced apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and a splash of water. Cook until the apples are tender, about 8-10 minutes.
  • Mix cornstarch with a bit of water, then add it to the cooked apples. Stir and cook until the mixture thickens. Set it aside to cool while you whip up the batter.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  • Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until just combined. A few lumps are perfectly fine.
  • Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it.
  • Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook until golden and crisp, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Top your warm waffles with the apple filling and serve immediately with optional toppings like vanilla ice cream or drizzled caramel.

Notes

Store leftover waffles in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in a toaster or oven for best texture.
