Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well until all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add them to the flour mix, followed by other wet ingredients: maple syrup, kefir (or buttermilk), melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Gently fold the chopped apple pieces into the waffle batter until evenly distributed.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray. Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron, spreading it out evenly. Close the lid and cook according to the waffle iron's instructions or until you get golden brown and crispy waffles.
Once cooked, carefully remove the waffles from the waffle iron and serve immediately. You can top them with additional chopped apples, a drizzle of maple syrup, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

Refer to the post above for video instructions and other useful information.
Nutrition information is an estimate and will depend on your specific ingredients. Toppings were not included in the calculation.
To store apple waffles, allow them to cool thoroughly first.
Then, you can store them in an airtight container or zip-top bag in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
You can freeze them if you'd like to store them for longer. Place the cooled waffles in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer them to a freezer bag or container for up to 1-2 months.
When ready to eat, reheat in a toaster, oven, or microwave until warm.

Quick Tip: To make cleanup easier, lightly grease your waffle iron before cooking. This helps prevent sticking and simplifies removing the waffles once they're cooked!
