Ingredients
**For the Donuts:** 2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1 cup milk 2 large eggs 4 tablespoons melted butter 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups diced apples (peeled and chopped) **For the Glaze:** 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar 2–3 tablespoons milk 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Optional: extra cinnamon or nutmeg for sprinkling
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. 2. In another bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla. 3. Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir just until combined. Gently fold in diced apples. 4. Heat and lightly grease a waffle iron. Pour batter in and cook according to manufacturer’s instructions until golden. 5. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth to make glaze. 6. Drizzle or dip warm waffle donuts in glaze and let set on a cooling rack. 7. Serve warm or at room temperature, with extra glaze if desired.

• Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a nice flavor contrast. • Don’t overmix the batter to keep donuts tender. • Glaze while the donuts are still warm for best absorption. • Optional toppings: powdered sugar, caramel drizzle, whipped cream, chopped nuts.
