Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup buttermilk

1 large egg

2 tablespoons melted butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and thinly sliced

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Maple syrup (for drizzling)

Whipped cream (for topping)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Waffle Batter:

    - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

      - In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

        - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; small lumps are okay.

          Prep the Apple Filling:

            - In a small bowl, toss the thinly sliced apples with the brown sugar and cinnamon until evenly coated. Set aside.

              Cook the Waffles:

                - Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once ready, lightly grease it with cooking spray or a little melted butter.

                  - Pour the recommended amount of batter onto the hot waffle iron (usually about 1/2 cup) and close the lid. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.

                    - Carefully remove the cooked waffle and place it on a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter.

                      Assemble the Roll-Ups:

                        - While the waffles are still warm, place a generous amount of the cinnamon-sugar apple mixture down the center of each waffle.

                          - Gently roll the waffle around the apple filling, starting from one side and rolling it tightly. Place the seam side down on the plate to secure the roll.

                            Serve:

                              - Drizzle maple syrup generously over the top of the roll-ups and add a dollop of whipped cream if desired.

                                - Serve warm and enjoy the delicious combination of sweet apple filling and fluffy waffle!
