Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

½ cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 ¼ cups milk

⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 large apple (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and finely diced

Maple syrup (for dipping)

Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Waffle Iron: Begin by preheating your waffle iron following the manufacturer's guidelines to ensure even cooking.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and granulated sugar until uniformly mixed. This will help distribute the leavening agents and spices evenly throughout the batter.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold in the diced apple until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps in the batter are perfectly fine.

          Cook the Waffles: Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray or a brush of melted butter. Pour enough batter into the center of the waffle iron to cover the cooking surface, close the lid, and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions (typically about 3-5 minutes) or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp on the outside.

            Cool and Cut: Once the waffles are cooked, use tongs to carefully transfer them to a wire rack or a cutting board to cool slightly. With a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the waffles into strips resembling dippers.

              Serve: Arrange the waffle dippers elegantly on a serving platter. For a delightful finishing touch, dust them with powdered sugar. Serve warm alongside a small bowl of maple syrup for dipping.

                Enjoy: Take a waffle dipper, dip it into the syrup, and enjoy the wonderful combination of warm apple and cinnamon flavors! Perfect as a breakfast treat or a fun snack.
