Ingredients
  

4 large waffles (store-bought or homemade)

2 large apples (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and diced

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional)

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Maple syrup, for drizzling

Whipped cream, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, lemon juice, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Toss until the apples are well-coated. If using, stir in the chopped nuts and shredded coconut. Set aside to let the flavors meld for about 10 minutes.

    Make the Cream Cheese Spread: In another bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. This will serve as your delicious filling for the roll-ups.

      Assemble the Roll-Ups: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Take one waffle and spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture on one side. Spoon some of the apple mixture onto the cream cheese, distributing it evenly but leaving space at the edges.

        Roll It Up: Carefully roll the waffle like a burrito, starting from one end and rolling tightly. Place the seam side down on the skillet. Repeat with the remaining waffles.

          Toast the Roll-Ups: Cook each roll for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and slightly crispy. Use a spatula to gently press down on them while cooking for even toasting.

            Serve: Slice each roll-up in half diagonally and plate them. Drizzle with maple syrup and add a dollop of whipped cream if desired. Garnish with additional apples or nuts for a decorative touch.
