Ingredients
Apple Compote:
4 Fuji or local apples, cored and quartered
1 cinnamon stick
1 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons sugar
Pinch salt
Salted Caramel Sauce:
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup heavy cream
3 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon sea salt
Waffles:
4 to 6 waffles (use your favorite waffle mix)
Whipped cream, for serving
Apple chips, for garnish
Directions
- For the apple compote: Combine the apples, cinnamon, lemon juice, sugar, salt and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the apples start to break down, 30 to 45 minutes. Set aside.
- For the salted caramel sauce: Combine the sugar and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook without stirring, brushing down any sugar crystals from the sides of the pan with a wet pastry brush. Watch carefully, when the sugar turns a dark amber color, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in cream and butter (it will bubble, so be careful) and then the salt.
- Serve the waffles topped with some apple compote, a drizzle of caramel sauce and a dollop of whipped cream. Garnish with an apple chip.
