Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup diced apples peeled if desired
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  • Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl. In another bowl, mix eggs, milk, and melted butter until smooth. Combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring gently, then fold in diced apples.
  • Preheat and grease your waffle maker. Spoon in the batter and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 3–5 minutes.
  • Let waffles cool slightly, then cut into donut shapes using a round cutter.
  • Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F. Fry the donut-shaped waffles for 1–2 minutes per side until golden. Avoid overcrowding.
  • Drain on paper towels and dust with powdered sugar while warm. Serve immediately.
