Caramelized Onion and Apple Waffles
These caramelized onion and apple waffles make a soft on the inside and crisp on the outside waffle that's slightly sweet from the caramelized onions and grated apple. You can, of course, serve these smothered in maple syrup. But they're a great twist as a "bread" for sandwiches or to dip into a hearty fall soup or stew.
