Whole Grain Waffles with Cheddar and Maple-Apple Sauce from Everyday with Rachel Ray

We made the whole wheat waffle recipe on this blog and added orange cheddar cheese.  Instead of a cinnamon stick we used a little ground cinnamon, no nutmeg, These were yummy--the cheese and apple combination was a delight. 
 
4 gala, honeycrisp or golden delicious apples
1 cup real maple syrup
1/4 cup apple cider or apple juice
1 cinnamon stick
2 cups whole grain pancake/waffle mix
2 eggs
2 tablespoons butter, melted, plus more for brushing, if needed
1 1/2 to 2 cups milk
Freshly grated nutmeg
1 1/2 cups shredded extra-sharp white cheddar cheese
Cooking Spray, if needed

Peel, quarter and core the apples, then cut them into chunks. In a large saucepan, combine them with the maple syrup, cider, and cinnamon stick and bring to a bubble. Lower the heat a bit and, stirring occasionally, let rapidly reduce into a thick topping while you make the waffles.

Meanwhile, heat a waffle iron to high. Combine the waffle mix with the eggs, melted butter, 1 1/2 cups milk and lots of freshly grated nutmeg (about 1/2 teaspoon). Stir in the cheese. If the mixture gets too thick, stir in a little more milk.

If the waffle iron is nonstick, fill it with the batter and cook until crisp. If it's not nonstick, spray with cooking spray or brush with more melted butter, then fill and cook the waffles. Top with the maple-apple sauce.
