How to Make Applesauce Waffles

  5. Stir in 1 cup unsweetened applesauce until evenly distributed.
  6. In a clean bowl, beat 2 large egg whites until stiff peaks form.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
