Start your morning with a delicious twist on a breakfast classic—Apple Cinnamon Waffles! Enjoy these light and fluffy waffles, bursting with the cozy flavors of cinnamon and fresh apples. This variation of our Greek Yogurt Waffles are wonderfully moist, while providing a tangy balance to the sweetness of the apples. Make them for a weekend brunch because they are easy to whip up and they will fill your kitchen with the warm, inviting aroma of baked apples and spices. Serve them with a drizzle of maple syrup or our Waffle Sauce, for the ultimate breakfast indulgence!
Try making our Cornbread Waffles for a more savory option if serving with a dish like chili. For more delicious autumn themes recipes, I highly recommend making our Pumpkin Swirl Bread or Cozy Autumn Wild Rice Soup recipes.

See recipe card for quantities.
Instructions
Whisk together the milk, yogurt, eggs, vanilla, and brown sugar in a large bowl.
Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a separate bowl.
Dice the apple very finely and set aside.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet.
Mix the dry and wet ingredients together with a whisk. Make sure that the batter is still a little lumpy, without over mixing.
Add the chopped apples to the batter. Fold them until just incorporated, again without overmixing.
Heat up your waffle iron. Coat the inside with non-stick spray and use your waffle iron's suggested batter amount for the iron. In my waffle iron (seen below), I use 1 cup of batter.
Substitutions
- Dairy - Use any type of dairy in this recipe instead of the almond milk.
- Fruit - Try using different types of fresh fruit like peaches, bananas, or even berries instead of the apples in this recipe.
- Sugar - Replace the brown sugar in this recipe with granulated sugar or even honey.
Storage
Place any leftover Apple Cinnamon Waffles in a resealable freezer bag and keep in the freezer. Reheat them by place them in the toaster and they will have a similar texture to when you first made them!
Recipe
Apple Cinnamon Waffles
Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1¼ cup Almond Milk
- ½ cup Greek Yogurt
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoon Canola Oil
- 2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 tablespoon Brown Sugar
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 1½ tablespoon Baking Powder
- 2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Apples cored and finely chopped
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the milk, yogurt, eggs, oil, vanilla, and brown sugar. Whisk the wet ingredients until smooth.
- In a separate smaller bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Prepare the apples by coring chopping in fine pieces, to get 2 cups of apples.
- Preheat the waffle iron so that it is ready by the time you finish making the batter.
- Place the dry ingredients in the wet ingredients. Use a whisk to gently combine the two together. The batter should stay lumpy, and not overmixed. Add the apples pieces and use a rubber spatula or large spoon to fold them in the batter, again, without overmixing the dough.
- Once the waffle iron is at temperature, spray the inside with non-stick spray. Follow your waffle iron's consideration for the amount of batter it suggests. When making them in a single 8-inch waffle, it takes 1 ¼ cup of batter.
- Once the waffle is lightly golden, remove it from the iron and repeat the previous step until the batter has been used up. Serve right away.
We brought these to a family brunch. Normally, my potluck items are not very popular, but, THESE delicious waffles were the first to go. Good thing I doubled the recipe!
