Yes, I know, another recipe with apple and caramelized maple syrup and gluten-free as well. Yet, completely different, than the previous AUTUMN WAFFLES. What is also interesting is that these are French Mini Apple Tarts and the waffles are Belgium. Of course, you don’t have to make them with apples, you can use other fruits, for example, pears or berries. I made many types of tarts in the past, for example, CHOCOLATE MOUSSE TARTS.

I must say that tarts are one of my favorite desserts. Not only they are always delicious, but they are so lovely to look at. I really enjoy making them and experimenting with different flavors. At this time I made them with apples and apple pie spices because of the Autumn season.

There is nothing like the aroma of cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and ginger spreading all over your house. This is what I love the most about this season, besides the colorful trees. Anyway, you can make the Apple Pie Spices from scratch if you follow the highlighted link or you can purchase one on AMAZON.
