Carmel Big Apple Waffle with Salted Caramel Sauce

Step 1

For the apple compote: Combine the apples, cinnamon, lemon juice, sugar, salt and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the apples start to break down, 30 to 45 minutes. Set aside.

Step 2

For the salted caramel sauce: Combine the sugar and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook without stirring, brushing down any sugar crystals from the sides of the pan with a wet pastry brush. Watch carefully, when the sugar turns a dark amber color, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in cream and butter (it will bubble, so be careful) and then the salt.

Step 3

Serve the waffles topped with some apple compote, a drizzle of caramel sauce and a dollop of whipped cream. Garnish with an apple chip.
