Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 3/4 cups buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
  • Sprinkles
  • Caramel sauce

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well mixed.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  3. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Whisk gently until just combined; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
  4. Carefully fold in the diced apples until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  5. Let the batter rest for about 10-15 minutes to enhance the texture.
  6. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions while you prepare your batter.
  7. Lightly grease the waffle iron with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
  8. Pour approximately 1/2 to 3/4 cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron based on its size.
  9. Close the waffle iron and cook for about 3-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Carefully remove each cooked donut from the waffle iron and place them on a wire rack to cool slightly.
  11. Continue greasing the waffle iron and cooking with any remaining batter until all waffles are cooked.
  12. In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using).
  13. Add more milk gradually until you reach your desired glaze thickness.
  14. Dip each waffle donut into the glaze until evenly coated. Let excess drip off.
  15. Sprinkle chopped nuts or sprinkles on top; drizzle with caramel sauce if desired.
  16. Place glazed waffles on a wire rack so they can set slightly before serving.
  17. These apple fritter waffle donuts are best served warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
