Beer Waffles with Cinnamon-Caramel Apples
I guarantee that you are going to scroll down to the bottom of this post, read the recipe, and nearly fall off of your chair when you see that I am posting an adaptation of something that I found in Vegetarian Times
After you make these waffles, use some of the beer that you have let to make this Cheddar Ale Dip. It’s legendary. Perfect for the upcoming football season.
For you Pittsburgh folks that might not be aware, Duquesne Beer has been revived and is being brewed again; the first runs were shipped to distributors last week, and they quickly sold out. I’m not old enough to have been around for the original (which dissolved in the early ’70s), but got a case last week and my Chief Culinary Consultant and I thought it was fantastic. And the packaging job is phenomenal. If you’re in the area, definitely try some once the stores are re-stocked!
Disclaimer: I am in no way affiliated with Duquesne Beer. I just enjoy trying different varieties of beer and supporting the local economy, plus the stuff really is good!

Beer Waffles with Cinnamon-Caramel Apples
Ingredients:
For the Cinnamon-Caramel Apples:
ยฝ cup granulated sugar
ยผ cup milk
2 apples (Golden Delicious is recommended), peeled, cored and sliced into ยพ-inch-thick wedges
ยผ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon lemon juice
For the Waffles:
1 cup all-purpose flour
ยผ cup quick-cooking oats
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
ยผ teaspoon baking soda
ยผ teaspoon salt
1/3 cup milk
ยพ cup beer
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Directions:
1. To make the Cinnamon-Caramel Apples: Sprinkle the sugar over the bottom of a large skillet and place over medium-high heat. Cook or 4 to 5 minutes, or until the sugar dissolves into an amber-colored caramel syrup, tilting the pan to distribute the sugar evenly, but not stirring. Meanwhile, heat the milk on the stove or in the microwave. Remove the caramelized sugar from the heat, and stir in the warmed milk. Return the pan to the heat, and stir in the apples and cinnamon. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until the apples begin to soften and the sauce begins to thicken. Turn off the heat, stir in the lemon juice, and cover to keep warm.
2. To make the Waffles: Preheat the waffle iron to your desired setting. Whisk together the flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Quickly whisk the milk, beer and melted butter into the flour mixture, mixing until it is just mixed (the batter will be lumpy).
3. Coat the waffle iron with cooking spray. Spoon the batter into the waffle iron and cook until the waffle is crisp and golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter. Spoon some of the Cinnamon-Caramel Apples over each waffle.

I’d kill for a waffle maker so I can make this!!!
These look delicious! I love beer bread, I bet I’ll like this too.
Totally bookmarked this recipe because my beer-loving boyfriend would go crazy over it!! It looks delicious and is NOT what I thought you’d find in the pages of Vegetarian Times :)
Wow, looks delicious! I’m especially loving the apples…I can’t wait for fall!
Some for breakfast please!! Looks fabulous girl!
This breakfast looks great even if vegetarian. And I do have a lot of vegetarian friends so even if you are not a vegetarian yourself it’s always a good idea to have some recipe handy. Thanks for sharing!
What an interesting recipe! Being a carnivore…I never would have discovered this myself…but maybe we should all start reading this magazine with recipes like this one!
Like you, I had to stop when I read the title “Beer Waffles”! I also am a beer gal and like to add it to recipes. Have to admit… never thought I’d be adding it to waffles!
cinnamon + apples = fall is coming…..
This just looks awesome! I have to try this!
Great meal to wake up to!
These look great! I love finding recipes with odd ingredients. My husband is always wanting me to try things with beer. And if it doesn’t even taste like beer, that’s even better! :)
interesting idea! i’ve seen it done before with savory waffles, but i like the idea of covertly having beer at breakfast. a gingerbread or chocolate version with guinness might be tasty, too!
cheers,
*heather*
What a fun combo of ingredients!!!
These look sooooo Good!
When I saw your Twitter update yesterday about the ingredients for an upcoming post, I couldn’t wait to see how you’d use them all together! This looks fantastic and very unique! :)
If not for loving Coors Beer Bread (which of course, doesn’t REQUIRE Coors Beer, but I am in Colorado so, well, you know), I might question more how the waffles don’t taste like beer but I can instead imagine how it impacts the flavor.
Sounds yummy!
Do you know @gonzogastronomy – Writes a blog with wine, food and beer; you might enjoy it.
wow these look so good, especially with those caramel apples on top. Yum! Who would have thought you could use beer in a waffle batter. Will ahve to try this
These look awesome! I’m always looking for recipes with beer in them to impress my man :)
These waffles look great, vegetarian or not! Those cinnamon-caramel apples sound scrumptious- I might have to make extra to take care of the ones I might just eat before they make it onto the waffles. Thanks :)
