Ingredients

Scale

Fruit

  • 1 cup fresh Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend for gluten-free option)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs (or 2 flax eggs for vegan)
  • 1 cup milk (or plant-based milk for vegan)
  • 3 tbsp melted butter (or dairy-free butter for vegan)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Apples: Peel and dice fresh apples into small cubes, then toss them with cinnamon and a little sugar to ensure each bite bursts with spicy sweetness.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and sugar forming the base of your waffle donut batter.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Whisk eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract together until smooth to add moisture and richness.
  4. Fold Wet and Dry Ingredients: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Gently fold in the cinnamon-coated apple chunks to distribute fruit evenly.
  5. Cook in a Waffle Donut Maker: Preheat your waffle donut maker and lightly grease it. Spoon batter into each mold and cook for 4-6 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  6. Cool and Glaze: Carefully remove the donuts and let them cool slightly before drizzling with your favorite glaze such as cinnamon sugar icing or vanilla glaze.

Notes

  • Use fresh apples for best texture and flavor; avoid canned or frozen.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep donuts tender and fluffy.
  • Preheat waffle maker fully to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  • Grease waffle maker well to prevent sticking.
  • Scoop recommended amounts of batter to avoid uneven cooking.
