Easy Apple Cinnamon Waffles

Brighten up your morning routine as the warm aroma of apples and cinnamon wafts straight from your waffle iron! Pair your waffle with a drizzle of honey or enjoy with fresh fruit. Note: Allow time for the starch to absorb the liquid and the gluten to relax, which creates a more tender waffle. You can cook all the waffles at once and freeze extras for future breakfasts. Or, just make them one at a time, because the batter can be refrigerated up to three days.
