Instructions

Apples

1

Peel the apples if you like and coarsely grate them.

2

Add a pinch of salt and leave for 5 minutes. Squeeze well — the mixture should be moist but not runny.

Crumble

1

Mix the shredded coconut, oats, flour and sugar.

2

Add the cold butter in pieces and rub it in by hand to a crumb.

3

Toast in a dry pan for 8–10 minutes until golden, stirring. Cool.

Batter

1

Whisk the eggs, milk, melted (not hot!) butter and vanilla.

2

In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and both sugars. Pour the wet mixture into the dry and fold with a spatula — lumps are fine, do not overmix.

3

Add the apples and fold gently. Leave the batter for 5–10 minutes — the flour absorbs the moisture and the texture becomes perfect.

Cooking

1

Heat the waffle iron. Spoon in the batter — not too much. Cook for 5–6 minutes until golden, and do not open it early.

Step 1
2

Move the finished waffles to a rack; do not stack them or they will go soft.

Step 2

To serve

Scatter with the crumble. Add yogurt, sour cream or ice cream.

Freezing and reheating
Freeze for up to 2–3 months

Cool completely. Freeze in a single layer, then transfer to a bag, container or vacuum pack.

Reheating

Toaster, oven or air fryer — they come back crisp outside and soft inside.
