Apple Cinnamon Waffles

Remember my apple-hating two-year-old...yep, all I have to say is "SCORE" again! He delighted in every single bite of these apple-infused waffles this morning. You can even see the chunks of apples. As I said with the pancakes, if you have kids with "texture-aversion" make the batter the night before so the apples are soft. Then, sit by and watch them devour chunks of apples before your eyes!!!

Apple Cinnamon Waffles

4 C whole wheat flour

2 T baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 C brown sugar

6 eggs, separated

2 1/2 C milk

1/4 oil

3 apples, chopped with a chopper into small pieces

11/2 tsp. cinnamon (or to taste)

Sift flour, baking powder, salt and sugar together. Separate eggs. To the yolks, add milk and oil. Beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks when the beaters are lifted. Beat the yolk mixture until thoroughly combined. Add the yolk mixture to the dry ingredients and blend. Fold in the egg whites. Bake in a greased or non-stick waffle iron until golden brown. Serves 4-6, depending on the size of the waffle iron.

**L** Use 1% or skim milk

You can add more apples and more cinnamon as desired.
