Waffle Batter

Apple Compote

Vanilla Bean Chantilly

Method

Waffle Batter

  1. 1

    Prepare the Waffle Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until well combined.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; small lumps are okay.

Apple Compote

  1. 4

    Cook the Apples

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and water.

  2. 5

    Simmer the Compote

    Cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and the mixture has thickened slightly. Set aside.

Vanilla Bean Chantilly

  1. 6

    Prepare Chantilly Cream

    In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until it begins to thicken.

  2. 7

    Add Sugar and Vanilla

    Add powdered sugar and the scraped vanilla bean seeds to the whipped cream. Continue to whip until soft peaks form.

Serve

  1. 8

    Cook Waffles

    Preheat your waffle iron. Pour an appropriate amount of waffle batter onto the hot iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until golden brown.

  2. 9

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the waffles warm with a generous spoonful of apple compote on top, and a dollop of vanilla bean chantilly on the side.
