 Bohemian Apple Waffles
Chopped apple adds moistness to these cinnamon-spiced waffles.

• 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 egg yolks
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 cup cooking oil
• 1 cup chopped, peeled apple
• 2 egg whites
• Maple syrup, warmed
• Butter or margarine
• Fresh fruit (optional)

1. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. In another bowl, beat egg yolks slightly. Beat in milk and cooking oil. Add the egg-yolk mixture to the flour mixture all at once. Stir just till combined, but still slightly lumpy. Stir in the chopped apple.

2. In a small bowl, beat egg whites till stiff peaks form (peaks stand straight). Gently fold beaten egg whites into batter, leaving a few fluffs of egg white. Do not overmix.

3. Pour some of the batter onto grids of a preheated, lightly greased waffle baker. Close lid quickly; don't open during baking. Bake according to manufacturer's directions. When done, use a fork to lift waffle off grid. Repeat with remaining batter.
