Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, ½ cup of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
  2. In a separate large bowl, combine 2 beaten eggs, 1 cup of milk, ¼ cup of melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients, and gently stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
  4. Gently fold in 1 cup of diced apples, along with 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg.
  5. Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions and lightly grease the cooking surface with vegetable oil.
  6. Spoon about ½ cup of the batter into the center of the preheated waffle maker, close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, until golden brown.
  7. While the waffles are cooking, whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
  8. Carefully remove the waffles using a heatproof spatula and place them on a wire rack. Use a round cutter to cut them into donut shapes.
  9. While the donuts are still warm, drizzle or dip them in the prepared glaze.
  10. Serve your irresistible Apple Fritter Waffle Donuts immediately while they're warm.
