Step 1

Turn oven on to "warm" setting or to 200° F (93° C) to keep your finished waffles warm and crispy (see link to directions for this tip above).

Step 2

Turn on waffle maker to desired temperature setting. Setting will vary depending on your waffle maker and how you prefer your waffles.

Step 3

Whisk almond milk, coconut oil, vanilla, ground flax seeds, maple syrup, and applesauce together in a medium-sized bowl, whisking enough to incorporate the flax seeds. Let sit for 5-minutes.

Step 4

Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl.

Step 5

Slowly add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing well until incorporated.

Step 6

Add in chopped apples and stir.

Step 7

Ladle enough waffle mixture into your waffle maker so the bottom of the waffle maker is filled. Close waffle maker and cook according to your maker's directions.

Step 8

As the waffles finish, place in the warm oven as you finish the rest.
