Our pumpkin waffles had a party.
Pure, local maple syrup is usually our gig, but we saw this goodness and just had to give it a try. My daughter, Kyrsten (now ascended to rock star status) gets all of the credit for making these waffles and its apple-y, gooey, cinnamon-y, buttery, dripping with yum syrup. This Apple Cider Syrup has a kick of apple that surprised and very much pleased our tastebuds. We cut this recipe in half as she made this as well as Cinnamon Syrup for one meal, but I will include directions for the full recipe.
You certainly don’t need pumpkin waffles. Fluffy Pancakes would be all you need, or if you love all of the apple things, Apple Pancakes are my personal favorite.
Here’s how you whip it up in just a few little minutes.
Over medium heat, whisk the following ingredients together:
1 c. brown sugar
2 T. cornstarch
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. allspice
1/4 tsp. ginger
1/8 tsp. cloves
1/8 tsp. salt.
Then whisk in 2 c. of apple cider,
and 1 1/2 T. apple cider vinegar.
Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and boil for 1 1/2 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 c. butter that has been cut into cubes.
Serve warm. Store in the refrigerator and warm back up to serve again.
- 1 c. brown sugar
- 2 T. cornstarch
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- ¼ tsp. allspice
- ¼. tsp. ground ginger
- ¼ tsp. ground cloves
- ⅛ tsp. salt
- 2 c. apple cider
- 1 1 /2 T. apple cider vinegar
- ¼ c. butter
- In a medium saucepan or medium heat whisk the sugar, cornstarch, spices, and salt together.
- Then whisk in the apple cider and apple cider vinegar.
- Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and boil for 1½ minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in ¼ c. butter that has been cut into cubes.
- Serve warm.

Many thanks to Cooking Classy for this delightful new addition to our brinners!
Hi Allison,
I was just looking at your Apple Pancakes recipe and have a couple of questions.
Your recipe says 2 1/2 cups of baking powder…..I’m guessing it should be teaspoons?
Also, when do you stir in the grated apples?
THanks,
Linda (Mel’s aunt)
Hi, Linda!
I got your comment and am so so grateful for the extra eyes! I’ve been doing so much blog work and editing lately that I’m so grateful when someone helps me spot errors. I made the changes you noted to the recipe. Thanks so very much!
Good to hear from you! :o)
