We like to make waffles or pancakes on the weekends. The girls and I went apple picking a couple of weeks ago. We are on a bit of an apple kick to eat them before they go bad. These apple spice waffles are made with homemade apple sauce, spices, and topped apple compote make a perfect breakfast.

I am always looking for ways to make things healthier. I made these waffles with whole wheat flour, homemade applesauce, and added some hemp hearts for extra fiber and protein. As a treat, I will make this vegan coconut cream from minimalist baker but this could easily be substituted with plain yogurt. I also like to make extra waffles and freeze them for those busy chaotic mornings.
Enjoy!
