I had apples and ricotta cheese to use up, so instead of making a pie I decided to do something different. The result was these fluffy, tender waffles with just a hint of sweetness. -Teri Rasey, Cadillac, Michigan

These waffles were easy to make and so delicious! I used Granny Smith apples, and they added a nice tartness to the waffles. I also added a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on top - perfection!

I was a bit skeptical about the ricotta cheese in waffles, but I was pleasantly surprised! They turned out so light and fluffy, and the ricotta added a subtle tang that really complemented the apples.
