Delicious and crispy apple fritter waffle donuts, drizzled with a sweet glaze, perfect for breakfast or a sweet snack.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 large apple, peeled and finely chopped
  • Oil spray (for waffle iron)
  • For the glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron and lightly coat it with oil spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat the egg, then mix in milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients until just incorporated. Fold in the chopped apples.
  5. Scoop the batter into the preheated waffle iron, spreading gently to fill the mold.
  6. Cook for 3–5 minutes or until golden brown and crisp on the outside.
  7. Remove the waffle donuts and let cool slightly on a wire rack.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the glaze.
  9. Dip the warm waffle donuts into the glaze or drizzle it over the top.
  10. Let the glaze set slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the batter along with the cinnamon.
  • For a thicker glaze, you can add more powdered sugar to the mixture.
  • These waffle donuts are best served warm, but can be stored in an airtight container for a day or two.
