Instructions:

  1. Heat 15g butter in a pan over medium heat, then add your diced and grated apples, 10g brown sugar, and 2g cinnamon.
  2. Stir for 5 minutes until apples are translucent and the liquid has syrupy bubbles.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 250g flour, 50g granulated sugar, 12g baking powder, 3g salt, and 5g cinnamon.
  4. In a separate jug, whisk 240ml buttermilk, 2 eggs, 60g melted butter, and 5ml vanilla until the mixture is silky and pale yellow.
  5. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry until just barely mixed with few lumps remaining.
  6. Gently stir the cooled apple mixture into the batter, ensuring an even distribution of fruit pieces.
  7. Set your waffle maker to medium high heat until the indicator light signals it is ready.
  8. Pour about 1/2 cup of batter per waffle and cook 4-5 minutes until steam stops rising and the exterior is golden brown.
  9. Mix 240g powdered sugar, 45ml milk, 2g cinnamon, and 2ml vanilla until the consistency is like thick heavy cream.
  10. Dip each warm waffle into the glaze or drizzle generously until the ridges are completely coated and glossy.
