These cozy cinnamon apple waffles feature crisp edges, tender insides, and bursts of cinnamon-sweet apple chunks, making them a comforting and easy homemade morning treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups (300 ml) milk (whole milk preferred)
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 medium fresh apple (peeled and diced, about ¼-inch pieces)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron for about 5 minutes until hot.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs with milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and lightly frothy.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Peel and dice the apple into small chunks and fold them carefully into the batter.
  6. Lightly grease the waffle iron if needed. Pour about ½ cup (120 ml) of batter per waffle onto the hot iron.
  7. Close the lid and cook for 4-5 minutes until waffles are golden brown and crisp.
  8. Serve waffles immediately or keep warm on a wire rack in a low oven while cooking remaining batter.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep waffles tender. Peel apples to avoid bitterness, or leave skin on for a rustic texture. Preheat waffle iron fully for crisp waffles. Refrigerate batter up to 24 hours and stir gently before cooking. To keep waffles crisp while serving, use a warming rack or low oven (200°F). Avoid microwaving leftovers; reheat in toaster or oven instead.
