Apples and Cinnamon are the perfect flavorings for these Homemade Apple Cinnamon Waffles from scratch. Warmth, comfort and so much yum! The whole family will enjoy these!
On weekends, I typically do a cooked breakfast. Sometimes corned beef hash (if I have the ingredients), sometimes oven baked bacon, eggs, potatoes and toast… but most often it’s pancakes or waffles.
The smell of food coming from the kitchen (the coffee brewing will bring my husband) makes my kids get up out of bed and run to the table!
Weekday mornings are a little tougher – maybe I should get up earlier and make these to make it easier? (Just kidding, no time for that). That being said, these waffles are pretty quick to throw together and cook. 15 minutes max from beginning to serving, and they do make a nice change from cereal, right?
Apple waffles are my favorite, mainly because I just make the waffle batter and add it to the waffle iron, and let it cook. No flipping, no guesswork. While they cook, I can brew coffee, set the table and plan the day.
I’d say these are perfect for Fall, but the truth is – we eat these year round!
If you love waffle recipes like we do, you’ll enjoy these Blueberry Waffles. Go a little heartier, and make these Fresh Oatmeal Waffles, too! Feeling Fall-ish? Try these Pumpkin Waffles!
Why this recipe works:
- Simple. An easy recipe that you can make very quickly!
- Homemade. There is nothing better than a homemade waffle, I promise!
- Delicious. Who can resist apples and cinnamon?
Kylee’s Notes & FAQs
How to make waffles with pancake mix: You can, OF COURSE, make these Apple Cinnamon Waffles with pancake mix, just follow the instructions for waffles, and add the grated apple and cinnamon.
Equipment needed (affiliate links)
- Waffle Maker (aka Waffle Iron). I use a Belgian Waffle Maker for these waffles. If you are using the smaller kind, go easy on the batter, so you don’t overflow!
- Mixing Bowls – I like glass mixing bowls.
Serve these Apple Cinnamon Waffles with:
- maple syrup
- butter or whipped cream
- a pinch of cinnamon

Yum, yum yum. These sound delicious. This probably sounds crazy, but I actually do not own a waffle iron. I’ve been meaning to buy one, but just haven’t gotten around to it. And I love waffles! Weekdays are too hectic for cooking breakfast (I microwave egg whites at work…), but on the weekends, it totally varies for us. Sometimes bagels, but many time eggs. Occasionally I make pancakes, but only when I’m feeling less lazy. Or I have a recipe I want to post!

These waffles look amazing! Apples and cinnamon are of course the perfect pairing, such a classic – which means my kids would love them! I will have to make these this weekend. I think I will serve them with some whip cream and a dash of cinnamon. Yum!!

My kids love waffles!
Jordan says
I made these YUMMY waffles tonight , yes I wanted breakfast for dinner . This recipe does not disappoint. I made only half the recipe and that was more than enough for me . I will definitely make these again , however I will use more butter and cinnamon next time . The slight crunch from the fresh apples … really added a nice touch to the waffle .
Simon says
These are great waffles. Bank Holiday, lazy mornings, family and comfort food 😍

So yummy and easy! “Step 7: DEVOUR!!!!”
Amanda says
These were delicious! I couldn’t find the recipe I used to use and stumbled across this one. I added 1/2 cup of oats. And just cut the apples into small pieces. The egg whites I whipped and folded into the batter to keep it light and airy. Definitely my new go to waffle recipe!!

I just did a Google search for buttermilk apple cinnamon waffles this morning, wanting to treat the kids on their Christmas vacation. This recipe didn’t call for buttermilk, but it’s easy, smells amazing, and makes super yummy waffles!! Thank you for this post!!
Katy says
Love this recipe! I mixed some cinnamon and sugar and sprinkled it on top with butter and maple syrup. The apples were juicy, so it took a little longer on my waffle maker to cook out the steam, but they turned out great. Thank you!
