# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Preheat the waffle maker according to manufacturer instructions. Lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray if needed.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
03 -
In a separate bowl, whisk milk, egg, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
04 -
Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Avoid over-mixing; a few lumps are acceptable.
05 -
Gently fold diced apples into the batter until evenly distributed.
06 -
Once preheated, spoon enough batter onto the waffle maker to cover the grid. Close the lid and cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer cooked waffle donuts to a wire rack to cool slightly.
07 -
In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed for a pourable glaze.
08 -
Dip the tops of the cooled waffle donuts into the glaze or drizzle glaze over each donut with a spoon. Allow the glaze to set before serving.
09 -
Serve the apple fritter waffle donuts warm with your choice of beverage.
# Supplementary Details:
01 -
Allow the donuts to cool slightly before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting off completely.
02 -
For best results, use apples that hold their shape during cooking, such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith.
