Crispy Waffles Infused with Apple and Cinnamon Flavors

In the spirit of the crisp, autumnal mornings, we're sharing a delightful recipe for Apple Cinnamon Waffles. This easy-to-make dish comes together in just 20 minutes and is perfect for those lazy, Sunday mornings.

Our author has recently acquired a 3 in 1 gadget that can be used for making sandwiches, waffles, and paninis. With this new addition to the kitchen, the Apple Cinnamon Waffles recipe was born.

The recipe calls for 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 tsp cinnamon powder, 2 large eggs (at room temperature), 1 cup milk (normal dairy milk, such as 2% or 3%), 2 tbsp melted butter (or oil as a substitute), 1 tsp vanilla, 1 medium apple grated, and extra butter for greasing the waffle maker.

To prepare the dry ingredients, the author suggests sifting together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon powder. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until well combined. The grated apple is then gently folded into the wet ingredient mixture to avoid overmixing.

The dry ingredients are then added to the wet ingredients and gently mixed until just combined. The batter is then poured into a preheated, greased waffle maker and cooked for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown.

The Apple Cinnamon Waffles can be served with a variety of toppings, including fresh fruit, whipped cream, honey, maple syrup, custard, powdered sugar, and cinnamon powder. For a twist, additional flavors such as vanilla extract, orange or lemon zest can be added to the batter.

This recipe is traditionally made when apples are picked from the orchards, making it a perfect Fall time dish. So, whether you're enjoying a Sunday Funday or simply craving something sweet, give these Apple Cinnamon Waffles a try!

And while we can't quite remember the movie quote, we're certain it goes something like, "And in the morning, we're making waffles!" – a sentiment we wholeheartedly agree with.
