Cinnamon Apple Waffles

No ratings yet

What two flavors taste like fall more than cinnamon and apples? These Cinnamon Apple Waffles are full of sweet, spiced, well-balanced flavors. Grated fresh apples are mixed into a batter punctuated by cinnamon and brown sugar, with tangy yogurt keeping the sweetness in check. They’re crispy on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside - and I share my secrets on how to make them that way!

Ingredients

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/8 cups all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons cornstarch
1 1/2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon table salt
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/8 teaspoon baking soda
3 large eggs
1 1/8 cups milk can use whole, 2 percent or 1 percent
6 tablespoons Greek yogurt
1 1/2 large apples peeled, cored and grated (I like to use Braeburn or Granny Smith)
Maple syrup for serving

Instructions

Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Place a wire rack on a baking sheet and place it in the oven.
Melt the butter in the microwave or in a small pan over low heat. Set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, sugar, cinnamon, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, yogurt and cooled butter. Stir into the flour mixture just until combined – do not overmix.
Place grated apples in a dishtowel and wring out moisture; stir into batter. Set aside to rest.Lightly coat waffle iron with oil and preheat to medium-high.
Using a heaping 1/2 cup batter per waffle, cook waffles according to manufacturer’s directions until golden. Place cooked waffles in a single layer on the wire rack in the oven to keep warm and crisp up while making the next waffle.
Serve warm, with warmed maple syrup on the side.
