Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1.5 cups Milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 medium Apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Butter for sautéing
- Powdered sugar (optional, for topping)
- Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; small lumps are fine.
Preheat a waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the thinly sliced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the apples are soft and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray or melted butter. Pour a ladleful of waffle batter onto the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly.
Before closing the waffle iron, place a layer of the cooked apples on top of the batter. Add another small dollop of batter over the apples to cover them.
Close the waffle iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, approximately 4-5 minutes (or per your waffle iron’s instructions).
Remove the waffles and repeat the process with the remaining batter and apples.
Serve the Apple Waffle Grills warm, dusted with powdered sugar and drizzled with maple syrup if desired.
