Ingredients
→ Waffle Donut Batter:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon table salt
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 large egg
1/3 cup milk
1/2 tablespoon oil
1 1/2 cups shredded apples
→ Glaze:
2 cups powdered sugar
3–4 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cinnamon sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cornstarch.
Add in the egg, milk, and oil. Stir until just combined.
Fold in the shredded apples.
Lightly spray the waffle iron with nonstick spray.
Drop batter by tablespoonfuls onto the waffle iron and cook for 3–5 minutes, depending on your waffle maker.
Remove the mini waffle donuts and place them on a wire rack to cool.
While they cool, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Dip each cooled waffle donut into the glaze, coating both sides. Let excess drip off.
Optional: Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar before the glaze sets.
Allow to set and enjoy!
Notes
For best results, use a mini waffle iron such as the Dash mini waffle maker.
These are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for 1–2 days.
Adjust glaze thickness by using more or less milk.
Cinnamon sugar adds extra crunch and sweetness but is optional.
