Gently fold in the diced apples, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter. The apples will add a delicious texture and natural sweetness to the waffles.
Step 6: Cook the Waffle Donuts
Spoon the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, spreading it slightly to fill the shape. Close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. The cooking time may vary depending on your waffle iron, so check for a crispy, golden exterior.
Step 7: Cool Slightly
Carefully remove the waffle donuts from the iron and place them on a wire rack to cool slightly. This allows them to firm up a little, so they’re easier to handle and serve.
Step 8: Make the Glaze
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable. If the glaze is too thick, add a bit more milk until you reach the desired consistency.
Step 9: Glaze the Waffle Donuts
Dip the tops of the waffle donuts into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off. Let the glaze set before serving. You can drizzle a little extra glaze over the donuts if desired for a more decadent finish.
Step 10: Serve and Enjoy
Once the glaze has set, your Apple Fritter Waffle Donuts are ready to be served! Enjoy them warm for a deliciously crispy and flavorful treat.
