Ingredients
  

2 cups waffle mix (store-bought or homemade), plus additional ingredients as required by the package

1 large Granny Smith apple, cored and thinly sliced

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 tablespoon butter, melted

½ cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

2 tablespoons maple syrup (plus extra for drizzling)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional, for added texture)

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Waffle Batter:

    - If using a store-bought mix, follow the package instructions to create the waffle batter. For homemade, use your favorite waffle recipe to mix the batter.

      Preheat the Waffle Maker:

        - Set your waffle maker to medium-high heat to ensure it is ready for cooking the waffles.

          Create the Apple Filling:

            - In a small bowl, combine the thinly sliced apple, ground cinnamon, brown sugar, and melted butter. Toss the apples gently until they are evenly coated with the mixture. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

              Cook the Waffles:

                - Pour small portions of the waffle batter onto the preheated waffle maker, creating mini waffles approximately 4 inches in diameter. Close the lid and cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy. Repeat this process until all the batter is used.

                  Make the Cream Cheese Spread:

                    - In a medium-sized bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is creamy and smooth.

                      Assemble the Breakfast Pizzas:

                        - Take each mini waffle and spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture on top.

                          Top with Apple Filling:

                            - Layer the cinnamon-sugared apple slices over the cream cheese spread, arranging them as desired. For an extra crunch, sprinkle with chopped walnuts or pecans if using.

                              Add a Maple Drizzle:

                                - Finish off by drizzling a bit of extra maple syrup over the assembled mini apple waffle pizzas for added sweetness.

                                  Garnish and Serve:

                                    - Add a few fresh mint leaves on top for an eye-catching presentation and a hint of refreshing flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful combination!
