I had apples and ricotta cheese to use up, so instead of making a pie I decided to do something different. The result was these fluffy, tender waffles with just a hint of sweetness. —Teri Rasey, Cadillac, Michigan

Ingredients

1/4 cup butter
6 medium apples, peeled and chopped
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
WAFFLES:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons quick-cooking grits
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 cups buttermilk
1 cup reduced-fat ricotta cheese
1/2 cup canola oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add apples, sugar, honey, cinnamon and vanilla; cook and stir until apples are crisp-tender, 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat and keep warm.
Preheat waffle iron. In a large bowl, whisk flour, grits, cornstarch, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, whisk eggs, buttermilk, ricotta, oil and vanilla until blended. Add to dry ingredients; stir just until moistened.
Bake waffles according to manufacturer’s directions until golden brown. Serve with apple topping, yogurt and, if desired, blueberries.
