Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1.5 cups Whole milk
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 medium Apple, peeled and grated
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for syrup)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for syrup)
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure fluffy waffles.
Fold in the grated apple gently until evenly distributed in the batter.
Grease the waffle iron if necessary, then pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron. Cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining batter.
While the waffles are cooking, make the cinnamon syrup. In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, water, and ground cinnamon. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat while stirring to dissolve the sugar.
Reduce the heat to low and let the syrup simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened.
Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the butter until melted and incorporated. Let the syrup cool slightly.
Serve the waffles warm, drizzled with the homemade cinnamon syrup. Optionally, garnish with additional apple slices or a dusting of cinnamon.
