DIRECTIONS for waffles

1. Preheat your waffle iron.

2. In a large bowl, combine flours, salt, sugar & cinnamon.

3. Grate 1.5 apples, leaving the skin on if you choose using the biggest side of a box grater. Cut remaining 1.5 apples into thin slices, set aside.

4. Add grated apples to a small bowl & toss in lemon juice. Then, add to the dry ingredients in your large bowl.

5. Coat the grated apples evenly in the flour mixture. Next, crack in the eggs, add 1 cup of milk & canola oil. Stir until combined, no streaks of flour remain & grated apples are hidden in the batter. It will be thick! If needed, use the extra milk to thin.

6. Prepare as you would in your waffle iron. Option to hold prepared waffles in the oven turned on to its lowest setting while you prepare the topping.
