Instructions

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until well blended.
In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Carefully fold in diced peeled apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and generously grease it with cooking oil or non-stick spray.
Spoon a generous portion of batter into the center of the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3–4 minutes.
While the waffle donuts are cooking, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
Once the waffle donuts are cooked, drizzle the prepared glaze over the warm donuts, allowing it to set for a minute.

Notes

Serve warm for maximum flavor. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
