Description
Pumpkin, Apples, Cinnamon…can you tell it’s Autumn?! I absolutely LOVE the combo of pumpkin-y baked goodness with sautéed apples and cinnamon. It has got to be one of the BEST flavor combinations in the world! If you have some time, I would highly recommend putting together the “from scratch” version but, if you’re pressed, you can certainly use a GF waffle mix for the base (adding in some pumpkin purée, if desired) and top with the apple-cinnamon compote. Still delish!
And if you happen to have some coconut whip to dollop on the top, it couldn’t hurt 😉. Happy harvest!
