Apple Pie Ricotta Waffles

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. Cook: 10 min./batch YIELD: 6 servings.
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
  • 1-1/2 cups fat-free vanilla Greek yogurt
  • Fresh blueberries, optional

Directions

  • 1. 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.
  • 2. Preheat waffle maker. 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.
  • 3. Bake waffles according to manufacturer’s directions until golden brown. Serve with apple topping, yogurt and, if desired, blueberries.
