Apple Butter Waffles
Makes 10
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1¾ cups whole milk, room temperature
- 3 large eggs
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1½ cups apple butter, divided
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup chopped walnuts, toasted
- 1 cup pure maple syrup
- Garnish: toasted chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°.
- In medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In another medium bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, butter, ½ cup apple butter, and vanilla. Add flour mixture to milk mixture, whisking until well combined (mixture will be slightly lumpy). Stir in walnuts. Let stand for 2 minutes.
- Heat an electric waffle maker on medium setting. Lightly spray each side with cooking spray. Pour ½ cup batter into waffle maker, spreading slightly with a small spatula. Cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Place cooked waffles on baking pan in preheated oven to keep warm while cooking remaining waffles.
