Apple-Stuffed Waffle Sandwiches Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons stevia granulated sweetener
• ¼ cup unsweetened apple juice
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 crisp red apple (York, Rome Beauty, or Winesap), cored and diced
• 2 tablespoons stevia granulated sweetener
• ¼ cup unsweetened apple juice
• 4 frozen whole-grain waffles or Belgian waffles, toasted
• 4 tablespoons no-sugar peanut butter

1. To make the optional apple-cinnamon syrup, place all the ingredients in a small microwaveable bowl and heat on medium (or defrost setting) for 3 to 4 minutes. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside.
2. In a medium microwaveable bowl, combine the apple, stevia, and apple juice and cook on high for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring once, until the apple is lightly caramelized and crisp-tender.
3. For each serving, place a waffle on a plate. Spread with 1 tablespoon of peanut butter and 2 tablespoons of the apple mixture. Top with another waffle. Cut the sandwich in half and drizzle with 1 to 2 teaspoons of the apple-cinnamon syrup, if desired.
