Tips for Perfect Caramel Apple Waffles

• Apple Pie Filling: Chop any large apple chunks to ensure even distribution in the batter.
• Caramel Bits: Gently fold in so they don’t all sink to the bottom.
• Crispy Waffles: Cool waffles on a wire rack instead of stacking to maintain crispiness.
• Make Ahead: Cook waffles in advance and freeze individually for a quick breakfast option—just reheat in the toaster or oven.
