Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• ½ teaspoon salt
• vegetable oil for frying
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• ¾ cup milk
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 3 cups confectioners' sugar
• 4 tablespoons milk
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• ¼ cup maple syrup
• 2 cups flour
• ¾ cup MUSSELMAN'S® Apple Butter

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat your waffle iron.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium bowl whisk together milk, apple butter, maple syrup, melted butter, and eggs.

Step 4

Pour the liquid mixture into the flour mixture and stir to combine. If the batter seems too thick, thin it out with more milk until the desired consistency.

Step 5

Cook your waffles according to the manufacturer's directions for your waffle maker, and let them cool. (Mini waffles will cook faster than full sized.)

Step 6

Prepare the glaze. In a large bowl whisk together powdered sugar, 4 Tablespoons of milk and vanilla. The glaze will be think but not as thick as frosting. If it appears too think, thin it out with more milk. Set aside.

Step 7

Fill a high-sided pan with 2 inches of vegetable oil. Bring the oil to 365 degrees F. Once the oil is hot, add in about 4 waffles at a time and fry for 5 seconds on each side. (They should just crisp and turn a dark golden brown color.)

Step 8

Continue until all of the waffles are fried.

Step 9

Dip waffles one at a time into the glaze and let them cool on a rack in a rimmed baking sheet to harden. Serve the same day as making.
