Apple Pie Waffles

Directions

CINNAMON WAFFLES INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat the appliance as directed.

2. Whisk the four, white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl until no lumps remain.
3. Pour milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract into the flour mixture; stir until just combined.
4. Beat egg whites until foamy in a large glass or metal mixing bowl until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form soft mounds rather than a shapr peak.
5. Fold the beaten egg whites into the batter.
6. Pour batter into the preheated well of the lower cooking surface.
7. Close the lid and cook for 4, then flip the iron. Cook for another 2 minutes.
8. Open the lid with a potholder or oven mitt.
9. Remove waffles with a wooden or plastic kitchen utensil.

SUGARED PUFF PASTRY DISC INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 400F.

2. Roll out the sheet of puff pastry, and use a round cutter to cut into a circle the same size as your waffles.
3. On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, line up the puff pastry circle, making sure they are not touching.
4. Use a fork to prick the all over the surface of the puff pastry rounds.
5. Brush the surface with the beaten egg using a pastry brush.
6. Sprinkle the surface with turbinado sugar.
7. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
8. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.

APPLE PIE COMPOTE INSTRUCTIONS

1. Peel and dice apples into 1 cm pieces.

2. In a medium sized pot, combine the butter, dark brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and apples.
3. Cook over medium high heat until the apples start releasing their juices and the mixture starts to simmer.
4. Add the lemon juice, and make sure to stir occasionally so the mixture does not stick to the bottom of the pot.
5. Cook for another 5-10 minutes or until the apples are cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
6. Allow the compote to cool completely before topping your waffles. If you’re not using this compote right away, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

WAFFLE ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place the cinnamon waffle on the bottom of your plate.

2. Spread a layer of cinnamon buttercream on the waffle.
3. Place the sugared puff pastry disc on top, and spoon the apple pie compote over the puff pastry.
4. Top with whipped cream and freshly grated cinnamon!
