waffle topping apple and pecan: Peel, core and thinly slice 2 apples. In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add the apples and 2 tablespoons brown sugar and sauté until the apples are soft but not falling apart, 5-7 minutes. Meanwhile, cook waffles per your recipe or the package instructions. Divide the apple slices and any liquid from the pan among the waffles and sprinkle each serving with chopped, toasted pecans.
