Caramelized Onion and Apple Waffles

Love this recipe?Mention @UglyDucklingBakery or tag #UglyDucklingBakery!
These caramelized onion and apple waffles make a soft on the inside and crisp on the outside waffle that's slightly sweet from the caramelized onions and grated apple. You can, of course, serve these smothered in maple syrup. But they're a great twist as a "bread" for sandwiches or to dip into a hearty fall soup or stew.

If you are making caramelized onions for these apple waffles, please see the blog post for instructions. Doing so will add about 1 hour to the cook time of this recipe.
This recipe will make six generous half-cup waffles.
If you want to serve these all at once, keep waffles warm on a cookie sheet in a 200 degree Fahrenheit oven.
