What Is The Best Belgian Waffle Maker to Buy?

We absolutely love this Belgian waffle maker which made perfectly crisp and fluffy waffles every time.  It also has over 10k amazing reviews, which is why we gave it a shot…. and wow am I glad we did!  We had a normal waffle maker for years, but recently upgraded to this version which makes deeper, thicker Belgian waffles.

I wish we had gotten it sooner. This waffle maker is simple to use, easy to clean, and makes perfect Belgian waffles in minutes.  Great for sweet or savory waffles that everyone will love!

What’s In Apple Waffles?

I cook with fresh produce from my garden and from Misfits Market– they sell fantastic fruit, vegetables, & pantry staples at a discounted price. We get Misfit boxes every other week and love picking out favorite produce for delivery. Get $10 off your first box here!

• Apples – you can use any variety you have on hand, I used honey crisp.
• All Purpose Flour: I normally use organic all purpose flour for all my recipes, I love the consistency and texture of the crumb this flour produces. If you are gluten free, then a gluten free flour would be a nice substitute in this dish.  If you want to keep it a little wholesome, you can use half whole wheat flour as well.
• Milk
• Coconut Oil: I love keeping a few jars of this organic coconut oil on hand, it’s great for cooking and also a really nice skin moisturizer outside the kitchen.
• Apple Cider Vinegar, which gives these waffles a little extra tang which is really fantastic! I love using this organic apple cider vinegar with the mother which has a great flavor.  I think it gives a nice extra sweetness and depth to these waffles, and makes them taste closer to buttermilk.
• Baking Powder: I like to use a no sodium baking powder in all my recipes, that way I can control the amount of salt that goes into my food.
• Maple syrup: for natural sweetness without the refined sugar, I’d definitely recommend using a natural maple syrup over sugar in this recipe.  And don’t even think about using fake pancake syrup… only the real deal maple syrup in this recipe!  (Being married to a Canadian, I have to add that disclaimer)  🙂
• Cinnamon: which gives these waffles a subtle spice-y flavor!  I love to add in a pinch for extra warmth and depth of flavor.
• Vanilla Extract: it’s super important to use real pure vanilla extract, and not artificial baking vanilla flavor. This real all natural vanilla is a fantastic ingredient to give these cookies an #extra boost.

Also, you may have noticed that you can make these waffles without yeast – the baking powder does the trick when rising!

One of the Best Breakfast Recipes with Fall Fruit!

Move over apple pie, fresh apples have a new favorite recipe. This waffles with apples recipe is a fantastic pantry-staple meal!  It uses almost all ingredients you would have in your dry pantry or cupboards – most of which you probably have on hand. Keeping a well-stocked pantry makes it easy to come up with delicious meals using a few staples you can rotate. 

I made a list of my Top 125 Plant-Based Pantry Staples that always keep stocked. And you can check out all my favorite pantry staple ingredients in my Amazon shop here.  By stocking up on whole ingredients you can cook delicious recipes without a trip to the diner!

How Do I Make Waffles with Apples?

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Finely dice the apples, and add them to a pan with the cinnamon, butter or coconut oil. Sauté for 5 to 6 minutes until apples begin to soften. 
3. Add the sauteed apples to a large bowl, and combine the rest of the waffle batter ingredients together.
4. When your Belgian Waffle maker is ready, scoop the approved amount of batter into the maker, and close the lid carefully. Your waffle maker instructions should say exactly how much batter to use.
5. Once waffle has finished cooking, place it on a sheet pan in the oven to keep it warm. Repeat steps until the batter is gone.
6. Serve waffles with powdered sugar, apple compote or homemade applesauce, fresh fruit, and a drizzle of maple syrup.  Rise & SHINE!
