Apple Pie Topped Breakfast Waffles Made Healthy

Apple Pie Topped Breakfast Waffles Made Healthy

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon reduced-fat butter or Smart Balance Light
  • 1½ cups apples, peeled and chopped, such as Gala, Fuji, Honeycrisp
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2 packages Truvia, Stevia, Splenda, or your favorite sugar substitute, see shopping tips
  • 2 frozen waffles, I like Van’s Whole Grains, Multigrain waffles, see shopping tips
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • Fat-free whipped cream for topping, optional

Instructions
 

To Cook Apples:

  • Microwave: In a small microwave-safe bowl, add butter. Cover with a plate and heat to melt, about 15 seconds. Add apples, water, cinnamon and sweetener. Toss together. Cover with a plate and cook in microwave for about 4 minutes, until apples are very soft.
  • Stovetop: In a small nonstick pan, melt butter. Stir in apples, cinnamon and sugar substitute. Add 3 tablespoons of water and mix well. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring often until apples are softened, about 10 minutes.

To Cook Waffles:

  • In the meantime, toast the waffles in a toaster until crispy.
  • Add one waffle to each plate. Top each with ½ of the cooked apples and spoon the cinnamon liquid over the top. Drizzle over the top of each with 1 tablespoon warmed maple syrup. Top with fat-free whipped cream, if desired.
  • Serve at once and enjoy!
