On weekends, I typically do a cooked breakfast. Sometimes corned beef hash (if I have the ingredients), sometimes oven baked bacon, eggs, potatoes and toast… but most often it’s pancakes or waffles.

The smell of food coming from the kitchen (the coffee brewing will bring my husband) makes my kids get up out of bed and run to the table!

Weekday mornings are a little tougher – maybe I should get up earlier and make these to make it easier? (Just kidding, no time for that). That being said, these waffles are pretty quick to throw together and cook. 15 minutes max from beginning to serving, and they do make a nice change from cereal, right?

Apple waffles are my favorite, mainly because I just make the waffle batter and add it to the waffle iron, and let it cook. No flipping, no guesswork. While they cook, I can brew coffee, set the table and plan the day.

I’d say these are perfect for Fall, but the truth is – we eat these year round!
