heat to serve with these delicious waffles.
Makes 16 waffles
1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional)
1 medium to large apple; peeled,
cored & diced
juice of ½ lemon (optional)
1 tablespoon cinnamon sugar (optional)
¼ cup packed light brown sugar
2 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1¾ cups reduced-fat milk
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted,
cooled slightly
nonstick cooking spray
1. If choosing to cook the apples first, melt the
butter slightly in a large skillet. Add the apple,
lemon juice and cinnamon sugar. Cook over a
medium-low heat to caramelize. Apples are done
when they are evenly browned and the butter
sugar mixture has thickened, approximately
15 minutes. Reserve.
2. Crumble the brown sugar into a large mixing
bowl to remove all lumps. Add the flour, baking
powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Stir to
combine.
3. Gradually whisk the eggs, milk, and vanilla into
the butter; mix until fully combined. Add to the
dry ingredients and mix until well blended and
smooth. Fold in the apples (cooked or raw).
4. Lightly coat waffle plates with nonstick cooking
spray. Set selector to Griddle. Set temperature
to 400°F.
5. When preheated, green indicator light on the
Griddle dial will illuminate. Pour 1¼ cups of batter
into the center of the lower waffle plate; spread
batter using a heatproof spatula to cover the
waffle plate grid. Close lid of Griddler
®
.
6. Let waffles bake for about 3 minutes, depending
on desired doneness. Open lid and carefully
remove baked waffles. Repeat with remaining
batter. For best results, serve immediately.
