We are a house divided when it comes to favorite breakfast foods. My husband likes French toast, my son, pancakes, but I am a huge fan of waffles. I love how the little pockets hold just the right amount of maple syrup, the crispy outside and the soft inside.
Since it's apple season here I wanted to use them in waffles and I found this recipe on the Taste of Home website. I had Honeycrisp on hand and I cut them in 1/4 inch pieces.
I added some maple sugar to the dry ingredients, if you can't get your hands on any you could add some brown sugar or just leave it out.
To the wet ingredients I squeezed in a bit of vanilla bean paste extract. My milk was really cold and it kind of partially re-solidified the melted butter but it still worked out okay.
I made two batches, first in my round Belgian waffle maker, they went too quick to get photos of. The second batch I made in a standard iron. Either way, I like to use a large cookie scoop to ensure that I get the same size waffles every time.
I served them with slices of apple, real maple syrup and butter. They'd also be fantastic with apple butter or maple cream. Thank you so much to Jane S. for sharing her amazing recipe!
