Ingredients
  

2 cups store-bought or homemade waffle mix (plus ingredients as per package)

1 large apple, cored and thinly sliced (preferably Granny Smith for tartness)

½ teaspoon cinnamon

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 tablespoon butter, melted

½ cup cream cheese, softened

2 tablespoons maple syrup (plus extra for drizzling)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Waffles:

    - If using a mix, prepare the waffle batter according to the package instructions. If making homemade waffles, follow your preferred recipe.

      Preheat the Waffle Maker:

        - Preheat your waffle maker to medium-high heat.

          Make the Apple Filling:

            - In a small bowl, combine the sliced apples, cinnamon, brown sugar, and melted butter. Toss until the apple slices are well coated. Set aside.

              Cook the Waffles:

                - Pour small amounts of the waffle batter onto the preheated waffle maker to create individual mini waffles (about 4 inches in diameter). Cook until golden brown and crisp, typically 3-5 minutes, depending on your waffle maker. Repeat until all batter is used.

                  Prepare the Cream Cheese Spread:

                    - In a separate bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.

                      Assemble the Pizza:

                        - Spread a layer of the cream cheese mixture on top of each mini waffle.

                          Add the Apples:

                            - Arrange the cinnamon-sugared apple slices on top of the cream cheese. If desired, sprinkle with chopped walnuts or pecans for added crunch.

                              Finish with Maple Drizzle:

                                - Drizzle a little extra maple syrup over the assembled mini apple waffle pizzas.

                                  Garnish and Serve:

                                    - Top with fresh mint leaves for a burst of color and flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!
