Cook 2 cups of diced apples over medium heat, with 1 tsp cinnamon, a pinch nutmeg, and 1 Tbs water. Cook for 7-10 minutes, until the apples are soft. Set aside.
Put the applesauce, eggs, olive oil, unsweetened almond milk, and honey into a bowl and mix with a handheld mixer until well mixed and bubbly in texture--- about 1.5 mins on the highest speed setting.
In a large bowl, mix the almond flour, tapioca flour, arrowroot flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and 1 tsp of cinnamon together with a fork.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix with a fork. Fold in ½ of the cooked apples.
Then, spray oil onto your waffle maker and preheat it until it is ready to be used. ( I set my waffle maker setting to 5 out of 7 heat)
Pour the waffle batter into your waffle maker ( I used a Villaware Belgian Waffler). Cook until the waffles are golden brown in color and crisp on the outside. Repeat with the remaining batter.
This recipe yields 7 waffle squares that are 5 inches long per side. This would be good for about 5-7 people.
Mix 1/3 cup maple syrup with the other 1/2 of the cooked apples. Top the waffles in the maple syrup apple compote, some almond butter, and chia seeds.
