Easter Morning Carrot Waffles
Serves 8
Ingredients


1 box carrot cake mix


1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts


1/3 to 1/2 cup water


2 Granny Smith apples




2 tbsp. butter


Juice of 1/2 lemon


½ teaspoon ground cinnamon


1 teaspoon vanilla


1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced


 Instructions


Prepare the cake mix according to package directions, adding the chopped nuts plus 1/3 to 1/2 cup more water than instructed, making a thick, flowing batter.


Peel, core and dice the apples. Melt the butter in a sauté pan and, when it stops foaming, add the apples and lemon juice and toss over medium heat. Cover, lower heat and cook until soft but still slightly crisp. Stir in ground cinnamon and vanilla.


Heat the waffle iron and spray the grids with nonstick vegetable spray. Use a 1/4 cup measure to pour a puddle of batter in the center of each grid. Cook the waffles until they are firm enough to remove from the waffle iron. Put on plates.


Spoon the hot apples over the waffles and top with fresh sliced strawberries.
