How To Make Miso Caramel Apple Waffles
Make the Waffles
- Whisk together the dry ingredients.
- Add the wet ingredients and whisk until just combined.
- Stir in the grated apple.
- Cook in a waffle iron to your desired crispness!
Make the Caramel Apple Topping
- Add diced apples and water to a small saucepan. Cover and simmer until apples are soft.
- Stir in caramel and heat through.
- Spoon on top of waffles and enjoy!
Tips and Ingredient Substitutions
- If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make ‘soured milk’ by adding 1 tbsp white vinegar to a measuring cup, then adding enough milk to reach the 1 1/4 cup line. Stir and let sit for a few minutes before using.
- If you don’t have caramel, you can either make homemade caramel sauce, or make a quick substitute for the topping. Heat 1 tbsp butter in a saucepan, add the diced apples and sauté for about 5 minutes, then add 2-3 tbsp honey. Simmer uncovered for 5-10 minutes or until bubbly. Stir in the salt.
- All purpose flour may be used in place of whole wheat flour.
Storing Leftovers
Store leftover waffles in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Reheat thawed waffles in the toaster or in the oven in a single layer at 400°F.
