Ingredients

Compote

  • 2 large Honeycrisp apples (peeled and diced)
  • 1/2 cup apple cider or juice
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • Zest of 1 orange
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Waffle batter

  • 2 1/4 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup malted milk powder
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (cut into 8 pieces)
  • 1/2 teaspoon table salt
  • 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup warm water (110-115°F)
  • 1 (0.25oz) package (7g) or 2 1/4 teaspoons Platinum Yeast
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Toppings

  • Chopped pecans
  • Butter
  • Maple syrup

Instructions

  • Make the compote: In a sauce pan on medium-high heat, add the apples, apple juice, dried cranberries, lemon zest, and brown sugar. Simmer over medium heat until the apples are tender and the juices are thickened to a thin syrup, 10 to 12 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt. Set aside. (Serve warm or room temperature.)
  • Make the waffles: In a small pot over medium heat whisk the milk, malted milk powder, and butter pieces until melted and warm, but not simmering, about 110-115°F. Add the salt and sugar, whisk, and remove from heat.
  • In a large bowl combine the 1/2 cup warm water with the yeast. Let sit until bubbles form, about 5-10 minutes. Add the milk mixture and whisk to combine.
  • Using a wooden spoon or dough whisk, stir in flour until fully combined.
  • Cover with plastic wrap. Let sit at room temperature for 2-3 hours until it doubled in size.
    (Note: If you want to let it rise overnight, simply place it in the fridge overnight. Remove from fridge and let sit on counter for 1 hour before proceeding.)
  • Add the eggs and the baking soda. Whisk until combined.
  • Using baking spray or melted butter, lightly coat the waffle maker. You can make Belgium or regular size waffles.
  • Cook waffles until golden and crisp (keep an eye on them so they don’t burn).
  • Top with compote, pecans, butter and maple syrup; or use your favorite toppings.
  • Serve immediately.

Hi Doris,
You can use nonfat dry milk in place of the malted milk powder.
Happy baking!
