Ingredients

• 2 c apples, diced small
• 3 T butter
• 2 c all purpose flour
• 1/4 c brown sugar
• 1 T baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 c whole milk
• 1/3 c vegetable oil
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• Caramel Sauce
• 1/2 c butter
• 1 c packed brown sugar
• 1/4 c cream or whole milk
• pinch of salt
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

Saute' apples in butter in a large saute' pan 3 to 5 minutes until heated through but still firm. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. In another bowl combine eggs, milk and oil.
Heat waffle baker.
Combine wet and dry ingredients, add apples and stir until combined. Do not stir too much.
Spray waffle baker with non-stick spray.
Ladle batter onto waffle baker being careful not to over fill.
My waffle baker is a thick Belgian type make and has a setting to set for how crisp you want them. I set mine to medium, this takes 2 to 3 minutes to cook. Adjust your baker to the desired doneness you desire. Serve with warm caramel sauce.
For caramel sauce, Melt butter and sugar over medium heat in a medium saucepan. Stir occasionally. Allow mixture to simmer until it starts to bubble and look foamy. Cook 3 to 5 minutes. CAREFULLY, stir in milk, salt and vanilla. Remove from heat. Serve with hot waffles.
