Apple Spice Waffles

 
Last week I told you about a homemade Apple Pie Spice. And, this spice blend is perfect for these Apple Spice Waffles/Pancakes. The recipe is a variation of my favorite Overnight Waffle/Pancake batter that I make so often. With the simple addition of applesauce and Apple Pie Spice, these waffles are transformed from an ordinary breakfast to a special fall treat.

The batter can still be mixed up the night before and refrigerated overnight. And you can use it to make either waffles or pancakes.

Apple Spice Waffles/Pancakes

1 ½ Tbsp. butter, melted
2 cups buttermilk
2 eggs
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 cups flour
1 tsp. apple pie spice
1 ½ tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. salt

For Waffles: Stir together all ingredients. Cover and refrigerate overnight if desired. Follow the instructions for your waffle maker to the cook the waffles. Yield: 6 Belgian sized waffles.

For Pancakes: Stir together all ingredients. Cover and refrigerate overnight if desired. Pour batter onto a hot buttered griddle and cook until bubbles on top pop (about 3-4 minutes). Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until thoroughly cooked. Serve hot with butter and syrup. Yield: 12-14 pancakes.
