Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer instructions and lightly grease it with nonstick spray.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp salt until evenly combined.
Step 3: In a separate bowl, beat 2 large eggs with 1 3/4 cups whole milk and 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter until smooth and homogenous.
Step 4: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, then fold in 1 cup chopped apple fritters carefully to distribute evenly without overmixing.
Step 5: Ladle about 1 cup of batter onto the preheated waffle iron and cook for 4-5 minutes or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp on the edges.
Step 6: Remove the waffles and immediately sprinkle 1/4 cup cinnamon sugar evenly over the hot waffles so it melts slightly into the surface.
Step 7: Serve warm with maple syrup or whipped cream if desired.
