Recipe By: ©2000 eric villegas
Ingredients:
3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup cultured buttermilk
1/4 cup whole milk
1 1/2 cups fresh apples, chopped
6 tablespoons soybean oil, preferably from Michigan
1 large egg, separated
2 tablespoons beet sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, pure
Directions:
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturers directions.
Mix the flour, cornstarch, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda in a medium bowl.
Measure the buttermilk, milk, and vegetable oil in a large measuring cup; mix in the egg yolk and set aside.
In another bowl, beat the egg white almost to soft peaks. Sprinkle in the sugar and continue to beat until the peaks are firm and glossy. Beat in the vanilla.
Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk until just mixed. Add the chopped apples and gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter with a spatula until just incorporated.
Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron and cook until the waffle is crisp and golden brown. Set the waffle directly on the oven rack to keep it warm and crisp. Repeat with the remaining batter, holding the waffles in the oven, serve immediately.
Notes:
Because the hallmark of a great waffle is the crispy crust its best to eat them right away. If it's necessary to hold the waffles place them on rack inside a cookie sheet in a 200 degree preheated oven for up to 20 minutes, taking care not to stack them. Stacking the waffles can create steam which will soften the crust you worked so hard to achieve.
Love the idea of warm waffles every morning but don't feel like taking the time? Make a bunch of waffles, let them cool and freeze them in freezer bags. To serve them simply remove the frozen waffle from the bag, preheat your oven to 375 degrees and warm the waffles for about 3-5 minutes or until the waffles a warmed and crispy!

Really love your show.
One day we'll even get to your restaurant.
My Hubby & I love your show . I missed a couple things from this recepi Sat.
I am so happy that you have this web site .
We also like the idea of you showing us so many things in Michigan .
Where can I buy a double waffle maker ?
It would have been so nice when all 8 children were home to have one .
love the shows…just finished watching..what kind of waffle maker do you have, is that a waring pro?? I really like the fact, you could make two at once. I look forward to visiting the orchard in michigan, with the 250 varities of apples..we have gone to romeo and armada, they have really nice orchard..keep up the wonderful shows..marie, windsor, ontario, canada
Hey Wanda - I just checked the Target stores website, they have a Toastmaster rotating wafflemaker which says it can make 2 at a time, and that it is also available in the stores, not just online, so maybe these are fairly widely available? i.e., if you live near a big city? Not exactly cheap - theirs is like 50 bucks.
Yeah, definitely something differently refreshing about "Uncle E" that just brightens up your Saturday! And makes one proud to be a natcheral-born Michiganian…
Saw your show for the first time today. Just love the sound of the waffles with apple compote. Can't wait to try them - even though I will have to buy a waffle iron!
are your recepis printer frendly ?
I think Eric's waffle maker is manufactured by Kitchen Aid.
Hey, gotta support the home team.
yeah! yeah! yeah!, you rock uncle "E", and your half nuts I love it.
I would like to get in touch with Herb's Apple Farm in O'Clare,Michigan
He has over 250 varities of apples
Could you get me his name address and phone number?
I've been looking for a certain apple varity
for several years. Maybe I've found a connection?

Love your SHOW!!!!!!! Now I need to learn to cook.
Thank you for a great show, Jim Luper
It's Sunday and I had everything except the apples- had to go out and buy them- Made up the waffle and it was a super hit. thank you for updating an old time favorite. I don't have the double waffle iron but will be looking for it in my stocking this year.
It did take a bit of work to figure out just how much batter to put in, but just eat the strange looking ones, it takes a learning curve.
we have such fun watching your show on saturday. The food always looks so delicous and of course the presentation is the best!
Eric: Your shows are always very creative. By using so many ingredients from around the state you open our eyes to many new things.
I have been at your restaurant once, and will be there again at my next special occasion.
i would kile to know the source of your two sided waffle maker, brand and where i can purchase one. thank you jf.
I believe it's made by Kitchen Aid. You can get where ever Kitchen Aid stuff is sold.
my wife and i love your show uncle e and we like to see the segments of your visits to the michigan growers. we"ve been to your restruant and will be back, the food was exceptional, no one will be disappointed.
"If you love waffles — I mean really love waffles — there is no better cooker than this monster. This non-stick, 360-degree spinning kitchen magician will keep you hip deep in breakfast breads for longer than your waistline wants or needs."

UncleE: We find ourselves planning our Saturday around your show. Great recipes and always entertaining. I like the weekly producer feature.
