Waffles with Cinnamon Apple Topping

This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group®, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #AddSpirit2Breakfast http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV

Waffles with Cinnamon Apple Topping are made with fresh Gala apples, cinnamon, nutmeg and maple syrup over Eggo Homestyle Waffles and topped with a dollop of Reddi-Wip Original.

We have had a whole lot of snow days this season and the bitter cold has been rough so we have all been a little cooped up inside. Being stuck inside doesn’t have to be a drag though! We spent today watching Spirit Riding Free on Netflix while doing some fun activities and creating these Waffles with Cinnamon Apple Topping for a perfect mommy-daughter morning.

Our one stop shop before the snow starts falling is Walmart to grab groceries. You can find all sorts of great Eggo Waffle varieties in the freezer section and Reddi-Wip in the refrigerator. Walmart also carries a line of Spirit Riding Free toys so my daughter can now bring Spirit everywhere with us!

Spirit Riding Free 

Spirit Riding Free has been one of my daughters favorite shows for the past year. The show is set in Texas with a 12 year old girl named Lucky. Lucky is forced to move away from her friends in the city to a small town where she comes across some unexpected adventures. Her first adventure is with a wild mustang named Spirit with whom she builds an amazing bond with. Spirit Riding Free is a great show for kids to learn about friendship, how to stand up for oneself while doing what’s right, how to appreciate animals and take chances in life with a little adventure.

You can print off all sorts of great activities for a snow day, after school fun, spring break or a slumber party featuring Lucky and her friends by clicking HERE. 

Eggo 

You can always find Eggo Waffles in my freezer. The kids love them, especially the Eggo Homestyle Waffles, and I love them too because you can toast up a delicious, golden crispy waffle in minutes! These warm and fluffy waffles are the perfect starting point for our special snow day breakfast.

Reddi-Wip

Speaking of special breakfast, the one way to ensure it is memorable is adding a little Reddi-Wip on top. Reddi-Wip uses the best dairy cream in original flavors and has less hydrogenated oils than other frozen whipped toppings. You can taste the real cream and how it adds that little extra something on these Waffles with Cinnamon Apple Topping. 

Waffles with Cinnamon Apple Topping

Mornings don’t get more delicious than this! These Waffles with Cinnamon Apple Topping are buttery and crisp with a sweet maple syrup topping with fresh apples. Cinnamon adds in the perfect amount of spicy sweet flavor with an amazing aroma.

Tips & Tricks

Apples

Make sure to leave to skin on your apples before dicing! The skin of an apple holds the most nutrients with loads of fiber and vitamins like Vitamin C and Vitamin A. Apples help with healthy growth of your child and boosts their immune system. Plus, they taste great! Just get rid of the core and eat the rest.

Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes

Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes are made with a basic pancake batter with added nutmeg and a pinch of sugar with a delicious swirl of cinnamon and brown sugar and topped with a buttery icing to seriously take pancake mornings to the next level.

I think my family is pretty typical with that we love having a big breakfast every Sunday morning. The perfect Sunday morning for me starts with sleeping in longer than normal and taking my time getting out of bed. Then, heading to the kitchen in my pajamas to whip up some breakfast for everyone.

These Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes are a great Sunday morning breakfast that kids and adults both love. They taste like cinnamon rolls but in pancake form with lots of cinnamon and buttery goodness. I think this is where I insert [happy dance]. I put an icing on top instead of butter or syrup but you can certainly pick a maple syrup if you choose.

Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes

Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes look like they have a lot of ingredients but they are really basic ones and come together easily. The only downer is all the dishes (you need 3 mixing bowls) but trust me when I say that it is totally worth it!

Tips & Tricks

The only tip I have for you today is to stay organized. Get out your 3 mixing bowls and make each item individually before beginning to cook. If you do that- this recipe is a breeze and anyone can make these yummy pancakes!

Cinnamon Caramel Latte

Cinnamon Caramel Latte made easily at home with a cinnamon simple syrup, freshly brewed coffee of choice and International Delight® One Touch Latte™ Caramel. Bring in the Fall by turning that daily cup of coffee into a simple, delicious latte with froth to obsess over.

#ad, Cinnamon Caramel Latte, #LatteMadeEasy, #CollectiveBias, latte at home, hot drink recipe

This Fall has been an odd one for weather. It has felt like summer here in Cincinnati but that crisp, cool breeze has been making an appearance more and more. The big cozy sweaters, warm boots, stacks of firewood, and chunky throw blankets are out and ready for use. Comfort foods and drinks have been on my mind and this Cinnamon Caramel Latte hits the spot.

I picked up everything I needed for this Cinnamon Caramel Latte at my local Walmart. International Delight® One Touch Latte™ can be found in the refrigerated section next to milk and coffee creamer. One Touch Latte™ comes in crazy good flavors like Caramel, Vanilla and Mocha. Caramel is needed for today but I recommend trying all the fabulous flavors. You will be able to get seven uses from one can. Coffee, cinnamon sticks and sugar will also be needed to complete this recipe.

One Touch Latte™ Steps

Let’s get started! Here are the 3 easy steps to master your One Touch Latte™ :

  1. Fill your mug 2/3 full with your favorite coffee.
  2. Shake the One Touch Latte™ can.
  3. Press and hold the can above coffee to cream to desired sweetness and enjoy! Press hard for frothy latte. Press it, press it real good!
Cinnamon Caramel Latte steps are shown separately later in post.

Check out the video below to achieve that perfect froth!

Cinnamon Caramel Latte

Now that you know how to create the perfect latte for this Fall season from the comfort of your home, let’s add some cinnamon to the mix! Try a Cinnamon Caramel Latte using One Touch Latte™ in Caramel and a cinnamon simple syrup.

To get the cinnamon flavoring, I recommend using a cinnamon simple syrup for a smoother drink. With a couple basic ingredients, you can prepare your very own. Start with a cup of water, one cup of sugar and a cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil on the stovetop. Remove from heat and let cinnamon steep for one hour. Place cinnamon simple syrup in a sealable container to be used as needed.

Just add two extra steps from the One Touch Latte™ tutorial above for a Cinnamon Caramel Latte:

  1. Fill your mug 2/3 full with your favorite coffee.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon cinnamon simple syrup.
  3. Shake the One Touch Latte™ can.
  4. Press and hold the can above coffee to cream to desired sweetness.
  5. Add a cinnamon stick for garnish if you would like and enjoy!
