Ingredients
Creating these delightful treats requires just a handful of ingredients you likely already have in your pantry. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk (or substitute with almond milk for a nutty flavor)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups peeled, diced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work wonderfully)
- Vegetable oil for greasing the waffle iron
Instructions
Let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to make your own Apple Fritter Waffle Donuts:
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions and lightly grease it with vegetable oil.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Gently fold in the diced apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Spoon about 1/2 cup of batter onto the center of the preheated waffle iron, spreading it slightly with the back of a spoon. Close the lid and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
- Carefully remove the waffles and place them on a wire rack to prevent sogginess. Repeat with the remaining batter.
