Cinnamon Apple Chaffle

I seriously can not get enough of chaffles, I have had so much fun experimenting and creating different combinations. I must admit they just keep getting better. This cinnamon apple chaffle tastes just like apple pie with vanilla ice cream – if you aren’t drooling you seriously should be.

What is a chaffle?

The original chaffle recipe is simply a combination of egg and cheese. However this trend has grown into many variations and people can’t get enough of them. Savory chaffles usually use cheddar cheese, while dessert chaffles typically usually use mozzarella since it is a less flavorful variety of cheese. For this apple chaffle recipe I used a mix of mozzarella and cheddar cheese.

Are apples Keto friendly?

For this recipe you can use Erythritol apple flavor to keep the carbs lower or you can use 1/4 cup chopped and skinned Granny Smith apple which has only 3.8 carbs. Apples are high in carbs and should only be eaten in extreme moderation typically on the Ketogenic diet.

Could I eat the cinnamon apple chaffle with ice cream?

I highly recommend the vanilla bean sauce with this recipe, but you could enjoy this cinnamon apple chaffle with a bowl of Keto friendly low carb ice cream.

Can I freeze a dessert chaffle?

Yes you can freeze any chaffle recipe. If you do choose to freeze a chaffle you will need to be mindful on how to heat it up – I would suggest the oven or air fryer so you can keep the crispiness. I actually would recommend using a mini waffle maker and freezing the extra waffles as the nutrition info can add up quickly for this recipe.

How many chaffles does this recipes make?

If you have my favorite Dash Mini Waffle maker this recipe will make two to three apple chaffles. For a standard size waffle maker it will make one chaffle.

What is the Dash Mini Waffle maker?

The Dash Mini Waffle maker is a nonstick mini waffle maker that heats up in minutes. It’s great because it’s small and space saving. It’s a nice option when making chaffles.
