A Caramel Apple Waffle with ice cream
Tonight was a busy night, as the girls had their first ski lesson (in two years since our Garmish adventure). I picked them up from school at 3:00, raced to RI to join 150 other children for controlled chaos and fun in the snow. Hopefully they'll learn a bit, in addition to being tired, cold and starving when they finished. We're not quite used to the busy "sports" pace that so many families lead all of the time. We ate at both McD's and Wendy's drive thru's, and raced home, arriving at 7:30. So, we had to be content with dessert waffles tonight that could be made quickly.
I again made a half batch of Krusteaz mix, adding 1 finely chopped Granny Smith apple and 1/2- 3/4 tsp cinamon, a sprinkle of nutmeg, a bit of ground flax just for grins, and a little extra brown sugar. The waffles cooked well, but the iron needed to be oiled well each time due to the brown sugar. Unfortunately I had forgotten to buy some Haagen Daz Caramel Dulce de Lece ice cream as planned, but had a bit of vanilla soy ice cream that wasn't too freezer burned! I had a bit of leftover caramel cream cheese frosting from making cinnamon rolls over the holidays hanging out in the fridge. It melted well and was terrific drizzled over the top. The Granny Smith apple was quite tart, so the caramel to go along was nice. I thought mine was the best with a generous sprinkling of toasted pecan added to the top.
How did my three true loves find the waffles? They all lined up for seconds and made it to bed only 30 minutes late! We would all happily eat this one again.
