- ½ cup Chopped pecans optional or toasted coconut to serve (optional)
Instructions
For the Topping
- In a medium sauté pan, melt the butter over low/med heat. Add the sugar, spices and salt and stir together. Add the apples and gently stir them until evenly coated. Add a tablespoon or 2 of water or apple juice to loosen the mixture.
- Increase the heat to bring the mixture up to a simmer before turning it down again to low. Continue to cook for 5 to 7-minutes or until the apples are tender but not mushy. Remove from the heat while you prepare the waffles. We will gently reheat the topping before serving.
For the Waffles
- Turn on the waffle iron to heat.
- Combine flour, oats, baking powder and soda, cinnamon and salt in a mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, juice, butter, vanilla and sugar.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry and fold until almost combined. Fold in the grated apple and continue mixing until just combined. Don't overwork the batter you you'll end up with rubbery waffles.
- Allow the batter to sit for 5 minutes.
- Turn the oven on to a low heat.
- Spoon the batter in to the waffle iron in batches and cook for approximately 5 - 7 minutes or until the waffles are slightly crispy. Once most steam has dissipated, the waffle should be ready.
- Keep the waffles warm in the oven while you finish cooking all the batter.
- Serve with the apple topping and chopped pecans (optional)
