Breakfast is by far my favourite meal of the day! I’m a sucker for fresh bread, croissants, and pastries paired with hot coffee or tea; alongside with eggs, bacon and some fresh fruit! I could keep going on about all the breakfast foods; crepes, frittatas, sausage… the list is long!

But I absolutely love to make waffles for breakfast and I always like having extra waffles for the week. I will make a large batch and stick the extras in the freezer.  It’s super easy to pull a few out in the morning and pop them in the toaster to defrost. It reminds me of being a kid and having Eggo waffles before school!

Waffles are super easy to make and it’s fun to play with all the flavour combinations.The combination of apple and cinnamon is not new, it’s a classic and why mess with a classic?! They pair so beautifully together and when baked in a hot waffle iron with a bread like batter…well I’m in breakfast heaven!

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour
• Sugar
• Cinnamon
• Green apple
• Eggs
• Milk
• Vegetable oil
• Baking powder
• Vanilla extract

Apple Varieties

Normally I’d give you a list of apples that are better for cooking, baking, or snacking. But since the apple isn’t being baked for a long period of time, you don’t have to worry about it turning into applesauce! So, any type of apple will work for this recipe, so use whatever apple you have or is your favorite.

Toppings

I doused these waffles in plain yogurt, maple syrup and some more chopped apples. They are the perfect fall breakfast! On weekends, I’ll add some scrambled eggs and bacon to fancy things up! How do you like your waffles?

• Icing sugar
• Whipping cream
• Yogurt
• Fresh berries
• Applesauce
• Maple Syrup (real Canadian maple syrup of course!)

How To Make Apple Cinnamon Waffles

Step One: Heat a clean waffle iron. Make your batter and fold chopped apples into the batter. Spoon the batter into the waffle iron and cook until the waffles are browned and crisp. Remove from the waffle iron and continue until all the batter is finished.
