Autumn Waffles adorned with Caramelized Apples and drizzled with Spiced Maple Syrup – a scrumptious brunch creation that transforms your home into a haven of comfort during those crisp, cool autumn weekends.
Belgian waffles are one of the easiest yet delicious treats you can make any time you have a sweet tooth. They can also be nutritious if you use healthy ingredients. These Autumn Waffles are also gluten-free, but you will not know the difference. They are just as effortless to make and as delicious as the regular kind. However, you can also use whole-grain spelt or whole wheat if you wish. Feel free to browse for similar recipes, by visiting the SMOOTHIES & BREAKFAST I especially recommend AUTUMN WAFFLES WITH PEAR MILLE FEUILLE which is equally delicious as the one with apple.
Of course, we all love waffles with strawberries and chocolate such as the CHOCOLATE WAFFLES! Yet, this season calls for pears, apples, cinnamon, and all the other spices that make your home cozy. And if you don’t have a waffle maker yet, then you can browse on Amazon and find your favorite. I personally have the Chefman, but for this recipe, I was using my daughter’s Cuisinart.
Also, the original idea behind the caramelized apple and pear is my old recipe for PEAR MILLE FEUILLE that I made for a competition. You may take a look because that alone is quite a delicious dessert. It is a lovely presentation too and very easy to make. And while I was making this Autumn Waffles with apple, I stocked up the apple layers and it looked just as lovely as the pear. However, for the waffle recipe, I had to take it apart, as you can see in the photos.
I sincerely hope that you find this idea appealing, and should you have any inquiries or recommendations, please do not hesitate to reach out. Your visit is greatly appreciated, and I extend my warmest wishes for a joyful Holiday Season.
