Ingredients
Creating these delicious donuts is simple and requires ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 apples, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- Oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for dusting
If you’re out of brown sugar, feel free to substitute it with coconut sugar for a slightly different flavor profile. And if you’re looking to make this recipe a bit lighter, you can use almond milk instead of regular milk.
Instructions
Ready to make magic happen in your kitchen? Follow these steps:
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the diced apples and brown sugar gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with oil. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the iron, close, and cook until golden brown and crispy.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the waffles and place them on a wire rack to cool slightly.
- Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Once hot, fry each waffle for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they turn a beautiful golden brown.
- Remove from oil and let them drain on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving to add a touch of sweetness and elegance.
This recipe is a little piece of our Sunday mornings, where laughter and love fill the kitchen alongside the aroma of cinnamon and apples.
