Preheat your waffle iron.
In a small bowl, combine the mochiko, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Set it aside.
Whisk the milk, egg and brown sugar together in a large bowl.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until almost combined. Then, add the 1/2 cup of apples and mix until everything is incorporated.
Grease your waffle iron with non-stick spray. Then add 1/2 cup of batter and cook for 3-5 minutes until golden brown.
Top with apple syrup and pecans and dig in! Enjoy!
