Make your morning meal so much better with these delicious homemade waffles. Although traditional waffles are so well-loved, this recipe takes your usual breakfast treat to the next level. It gives you all the pleasant and warming taste you are looking for in a waffle but with the added crunch and flavor from the apple shreds and cinnamon powder. So next time you are about to make one and see some juicy apples begging to be put to good use, you know what to do!
While these two delicious morning treats are made using similar ingredients in making the batter, the difference lies in how they are prepared and cooked. Pancakes are cooked using a flat, smooth surface like griddles or skillets. Waffles, on the other hand, require the use of a waffle iron or waffle maker where the batter is pressed on both sides to give them their distinct honeycomb pattern. The method of how they are cooked gives them different textures and flavors. While pancakes have a fluffy and soft texture, waffles are crisps and light with a chewy center. Waffles have a more caramelized taste because of the little hot pockets created by the waffle iron. Make sure to check out my classic Belgian Waffles.

That depends on the type of waffle iron you are using and its setting. Cooking time for a waffle is usually between 3-6 minutes. Use the light indicator or timer sound on your waffle maker if it has one. If not, the steam will indicate when the waffle is done. Waffles release steam while they cook. The waffle should be done cooking when the steam from the iron stops rising.
While these apple cinnamon waffles are filling on their own, there are a few breakfast dishes that go well with them.
