• A pinch of salt
• 2 eggs (medium)
• 300 ml milk
• 80 ml neutral vegetable oil or melted butter
• 2 Cosmic Crisp® apples, peeled, finely grated and well squeezed
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon (optional)

For the topping

• 1–2 Cosmic Crisp® apples, thinly sliced
• A handful of pecans or nuts of choice (optional)
• Icing sugar, for dusting
• Fresh berries or mint (optional)

1. Prepare the batter
   Mix the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon (if using) in a large bowl.
   Whisk the eggs, milk and oil (or butter) together in a separate bowl.
2. Add the Cosmic Crisp® apples
   Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix briefly until smooth.
   Fold in the grated Cosmic Crisp® apples to add moisture and natural sweetness.

4. Serve
   Stack the waffles on plates, top with fresh Cosmic Crisp® apple slices and optional nuts. Finish with a light dusting of icing sugar.
