Ingredients
  

2 large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and sliced thin

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons brown sugar

8 frozen waffles (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup cream cheese, softened

2 tablespoons maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup granola (optional, for extra crunch)

2 tablespoons butter (for cooking apples)

Whipped cream (for serving, optional)

Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced apples, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Sauté the apples for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.

    Make the Cream Cheese Spread: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.

      Toast the Waffles: If using frozen waffles, toast them according to package instructions until golden and crisp. If making homemade waffles, prepare them using your favorite recipe and ensure they are crispy for easy handling.

        Assemble the Sandwiches: Start with one waffle as the base. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture on top. Add a layer of caramelized apples and sprinkle with granola if desired for an added crunch. Top with another waffle to create a sandwich.

          Optional Serving: To serve, you can dust the top of the sandwich with powdered sugar and add a swirl of whipped cream on the side for extra indulgence.

            Enjoy: Cut the waffle sandwich in half to make it easier to eat, and enjoy your delicious Cinnamon Apple Waffle Sandwiches warm!
