Apple Pie Waffles

It’s hard to believe today is the first day of September! Keeping with tradition, I’m sharing an apple recipe to kick off the month! I eagerly wait for September to roll around ALL year long. I love this month…for the apples! Plus, the weather is pretty spectacular this time of year. Right now, we’re in the midst of a warm spell, but the humidity has been low and there have been frequent breezes to keep the temperature feeling comfortable. Basically, it’s been pretty perfect. I would happily enjoy this weather year round.
I finally took a trip to our favorite apple farm last week. I’d been holding out for quite a while, because I wanted to make sure I didn’t jump the gun and get the first ones… which quite frankly aren’t always the best, or at least no where near my favorites (those come later in the month). We made the mistake of visiting another local apple farm first, simply because we were in the area. I figured, one stop shopping kind of thing. Bad decision. The apples were puny and depressing. Everything else they had was beautiful, but I didn’t want tomatoes or pasta or bread… I wanted apples!
Back to our favorite apple farm. Forever and always! They never disappoint. Big bold beautiful softball sized apples. A must.
I combined two of my favorite things into one amazing breakfast/dessert. Because let’s be real, you can totally eat this for either or both. It’s that tasty.
Growing up we regularly ate waffles with family friends. Slathered with jelly or coated with syrup. Essential sweeteners for a kid. But this version is worlds better. A treat for Fall!
