Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

1 ¾ cups whole milk

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and thinly sliced

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon lemon juice

½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 cup whipped cream or cream cheese frosting (optional, for serving)

Maple syrup (for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apple Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the sliced apples, brown sugar, lemon juice, and nutmeg. Toss well to coat and let sit for about 10 minutes to allow the sugar to draw out the juices from the apples.

    Make the Waffle Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In another bowl, beat the eggs and then stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

      Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (lumps are okay; avoid overmixing).

        Preheat and Cook: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once hot, lightly grease with cooking spray or butter, and pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the iron (usually about ¾ cup, depending on your waffle iron size). Close the lid and cook until golden brown (about 4-6 minutes).

          Sauté the Apples: While the waffles are cooking, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the apple mixture and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until apples are tender and slightly caramelized. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

            Assemble the Sandwiches: Once the waffles are cooked, set one waffle on a plate. Top it with a generous spoonful of the sautéed cinnamon apples, then place another waffle on top to create a sandwich.

              Serve: If desired, add a dollop of whipped cream or cream cheese frosting on top of your waffle sandwich. Drizzle with maple syrup for added sweetness. Repeat the assembly for the remaining waffle sandwiches.

                Enjoy! Serve immediately while warm and enjoy this delightful twist on a classic breakfast!
