Instructions
For the Waffles
Prepare waffle mix per box instructions. Using a spoon initially and then finally a whisk, add the Apple Butter and pecans (if desired) and Stir until smooth. Plug in and heat up your waffle iron – paint the iron plates with small amount of vegetable oil. Close the iron and when it indicates that it is ready, you can begin to pour an appropriate amount of batter into the iron (for my iron that is about ½ cup – yours may be different)
In a medium heavy sauce pan, combine all of the ingredients for the topping and place on stove top on medium heat. Continue to heat and stir until it becomes thick and bubbly – about 10 minutes (hopefully about the same time that your waffles are ready). You don’t have to stir constantly – but keep a close eye on it.
Notes
You could also substitute pears for the apples. Delicious.
