I’ve been wanting to make these harvest waffles ever since I made these beer waffles. They were so good, I knew I had to make a fall-time version. So while everyone is busy planning the big Thanksgiving menu – I say don’t forget about breakfast! These festive waffles are the perfect way to start your holiday. They are yeasty and packed full of apple cider spice flavor but still light enough so you’ll have an appetite to chow down with your family and friends in the afternoon. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday!

Directions
Dissolve yeast in warm room temperature water, making sure no clumps remain. You can read more about yeasty best practices here. Mix dry ingredients together then whisk in remaining ingredients in large bowl until smooth. Cover and let stand in warm place until bubbly, about 30 minutes. While the batter rises prepare the apple pecan topping. Chop up apples and place in pot with a little dab of butter and teaspoon of cinnamon. Warm until fragrant then add the pecans (toasted salted are good here). When the batter is ready, prepare the waffles. Top with apples, pecans and maple syrup.
