Apple fritter waffles combine the crispy texture of waffles with the warm, spiced flavor of a classic apple fritter. Packed with shredded apples and cozy spices, these waffles cook up golden and slightly crisp on the outside while staying tender inside. Finished with a sweet glaze, they’re the perfect indulgent breakfast or brunch option that’s both fun and easy to make.
Golden waffles packed with shredded apples and cinnamon. A fun twist on a classic breakfast.
Ingredients
Waffle Batter
- 3 cups shredded Autumn Glory apples (about 5 apples)
- 1 cup flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- ½ tablespoon vanilla extract
Apple Fritter Glaze
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- ⅓ cup milk
Directions
- Preheat the waffle iron; set the heat to med-high.
- Grate your Autumn Glory apples using a food processor, mandolin, or box grater. There is no need to peel them.
- Place all of the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and use a wooden spoon or similar to combine.
- Add the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract and mix until the dry ingredients are incorporated, being careful not to overwork the batter.
- Add the shredded Autumn Glory apples and gently fold them into the batter. It will end up being fairly chunky.
- Spray a pre-heated waffle iron generously with non-stick cooking spray. Spoon a dollop of batter inside, close, and cook until golden and crispy. My mini waffle iron took 7 minutes.
- While your waffles are cooking, whisk together powdered sugar and milk for the glaze. As each waffle comes out of the waffle iron, carefully dip it into the glaze, then transfer it to a wire rack over a baking sheet so the excess glaze can run off.
