caramelized apples

Puff pastry in a waffle iron, and then topped with caramelized apples!

Caramelized Apple Waffle Pastries

unsalted butter

(peeled

white sugar

cornstarch

cinnamon

nutmeg

salt

vanilla extract

frozen Puff Pastry, (thawed)

heavy whipping cream

In a large skillet over medium-heat, melt the butter. Add the apples, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Stir the apples into the sugary, buttery mixture until coated. Let the apples cook and caramelize, about 15 minutes, stirring every so often (reduce heat as needed). Remove skillet from heat and stir in the vanilla. Set the apples aside to cool.

PREPARE THE CARAMELIZED APPLES:

Preheat your waffle iron. Unfold the thawed puff pastry. Use a sharp knife and cut along the seams to create three rectangles. Cut each rectangle into thirds. You should have nine square pieces of Puff Pastry (about 2½x3-inch). Combine the sugar and cinnamon: Sprinkle the tops of the Puff Pastry squares with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Spray a waffle iron with nonstick spray. Place the Puff Pastry onto the waffle iron (two at a time) and close the waffle iron. It should only take 2 or 3 minutes for the pastry to puff up and turn golden brown. Gently lift the waffle iron to watch progress and remove the waffles when done. Repeat with the remaining pastry dough. Set the pastry waffles aside to cool.

PREPARE THE WAFFLE PASTRIES:

In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Add the cinnamon and vanilla.

PREPARE THE WHIPPED CREAM:

Place the waffle pastries on a serving platter and top with the caramelized apples, drizzling pan juices on top too. Pipe the whipped cream on top of the apples. Serve immediately.

ASSEMBLE THE WAFFLE PASTRIES:

Homemade caramelized apples make a great topping for breakfast pancakes and French toasts, desserts (such as crepes), and ice cream. They are also a great addition to brie cheese, goat cheese, and even meats, such as pork chops and chicken. The apples are sauteed in butter, lemon juice, cinnamon, brown sugar and finished with just a touch of honey! This recipe provides detailed tips and step-by-step instructions for sauteed apples. They are delicious, easy-to-make, vegetarian, and gluten-free!

Caramelized Apples

apples (2 green (Granny Smith), 2 red (Gala

brown sugar

lemon juice

butter

honey

thyme

Prepare the apples.  I used 4 apples (2 red and 2 green for presentation purposes).  Core the apples and slice each one length-wise.

Place sliced apples into a large bowl, add brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and mix. Let apples sit for about 15 minutes to release juices.

In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of butter on high heat. Add sliced apples (without juice at the bottom of the pan) cook on high heat for about 3 or 5 minutes, checking periodically. After 3 or 5 minutes, flip sliced apples to the other side and let them cook on medium-high heat for another 3 or 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Depending on how hot your stove gets, it might take you less or more time to cook apples, the key is to brown them or even get a slightly “burned” effect. But don’t overdo it, once the apples have this “roasted” appearance.

Right after you remove the pan with roasted sliced apples from the heat, immediately add honey – it will make apples sizzle and will caramelize them beautifully, off the heat.

Sprinkle with the fresh thyme, if desired.  You can also, optionally, pour the delicious juices from the bowl that you used for apples over the cooked apples.

Caramelized Apples are an easy recipe to make at home! All you need are 5 ingredients and about 15 minutes to make this decadent topping, which is perfect for pancakes, waffles, ice cream, cakes and more!
