These are waffles worth waking up for -- packed with aromatic fall spices, sweet-tart from fresh apple cider, and finished with a crunchy crust of spiced sugar. Make them for breakfast or brunch, or serve them with ice cream for a perfect fall dessert!

Time 50m

Yield About 10 waffles

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup light-brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 cups apple cider
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 large eggs
4 tablespoons melted butter, for brushing
Nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

  • Arrange a rack in the top position of the oven and preheat to 300 degrees F.
  • For the spiced sugar: In a small bowl, stir together the granulated sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg to combine. Set aside.
  • For the waffles: In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg and salt to combine.
  • Add the cider, buttermilk, vanilla and eggs and whisk well to combine -- don't overmix.
  • Preheat a waffle iron and spray it with nonstick spray. Scoop in enough batter to just cover the surface of the iron, about 1/3 to 3/4 cup, depending on its size. Close the lid and cook until the waffle is lightly golden brown but about 1 minute shy of being done and very crisp. (The timing will depend on your waffle iron; check after 3 to 4 minutes.)
  • Open the waffle iron and use a pastry brush to lightly brush the waffle with some of the remaining melted butter. Sprinkle some of the spiced sugar over the surface and close the waffle iron. Continue to cook until the waffle is deeply brown and very crisp, 1 to 2 minutes more.
  • Remove the waffle from the iron and repeat with the remaining batter. (You can hold the waffles on a rack on a baking sheet in the oven to keep them warm until ready to serve.) Serve immediately, warm.

These waffles were a bit too cakey for my taste. I prefer waffles that are more crispy. However, the apple cider flavor was really good. I would recommend this recipe to someone who likes cakey waffles.

I followed the recipe exactly and my waffles turned out dense and dry. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I'm disappointed because I was really looking forward to trying these.

These waffles were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. They're also really easy to make, so I'll probably make them again for a quick and easy breakfast.

I've tried many apple cider doughnut recipes, but this one is by far the best. The waffles are so moist and flavorful, and the apple cider glaze is the perfect finishing touch. I will definitely be making these again and again.
