Apple Cider Winter Waffles with Caramelized Apples
  • Makes 4 waffles
Author Notes

It just felt like winter this morning and regular waffles just weren't going to cut it. We drink massive amounts of apple cider this time of year and I thought its flavor would be perfect for a waffle. My son requested oatmeal for breakfast so I thought I would make this batter partly from finely ground oatmeal. Topped with apples caramelized in some salted butter these waffles have everything I look for in the morning. I used pumpkin pie spice in mine because it is easy, but you could substitute equal parts cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. —meganvt01

Just tried these and had a few issues. The flavor was really great (I added a pinch of salt to bring out the other flavors) , but the waffles turned out a bit soggy- I tried adding some oil to the remaining batter, but that didn't help much. I made them primarily to freeze and have for breakfast during the week, so I'm hoping they'll crisp up in the toaster. Cool idea, and very healthy, though!

I have had that problem with various waffle recipes from time to time. I'll make this one again and see what happens and see if I can make any adjustments. Thanks for your feedback!

I remade them with oil and salt which I realized I left out of the original recipe. Def not soggy :)
