I’ve always liked apple strudel and I just looooove waffles, so last weekend I made the easiest waffle recipe ever: Vegan apple strudel puff pastry waffles!
All you need is puff pastry, cinnamon, apples, and a little bit of agave! It’s actually one of the easiest recipes I’ve ever posted! If not THE easiest recipe ever!
They come together in about 8 minutes, which is totally crazy for waffles!! Maybe you now wonder: “Is puff pastry vegan”? Fortunately, there are actually a lot of puff pastry brands that are vegan. Most refrigerated uncooked puff pastry sheets only contain flour, margarine, salt, water, and yeast, so they are suitable for vegans. However, this can depend on where you live and what grocery store you’re at, so make sure to check the ingredient list. Peta got a list of things that are “accidentally” vegan, which might help you a little bit with that.
Puff Pastry Waffles or Puffles?
So now back to these super easy vegan apple cinnamon waffles! I actually thought about calling them “puffles”, like puff pastry waffles and I thought this was super creative!! So being all proud of myself for coming up with such a genius keyword, I tipped in puffles in the Google keyword planner (which allows you to pick good keywords for your recipes, so people can actually find them when using Google) and I got tons of results. I already got pretty excited, but then I then noticed that puffles are actually “small furry pets” in a game called Club Penguin Island. Haha! So much for that!
As I already said, the recipe for these vegan stuffed waffles really couldn’t be easier. The best thing is that you don’t even have to make a batter! I unrolled the puff pastry and cut it into three 5×10-inch rectangles, which worked perfectly for my waffle maker. As they’re all different in size, the best thing is maybe to measure the cooking surface of your waffle maker before you get started. Then just cut each piece of pastry to the same width of your waffle maker but double the length of it.
Then cut an apple into thin slices and put them on one half of the pastry rectangle. If you want you can also add some raisins to make the apple strudel more authentic. I left them out because I don’t like them too much. Sprinkle the apples with some cinnamon and agave. Fold the other half of each piece of pastry over and seal the edges.
Then heat the waffle maker and lightly grease it with some oil, for example coconut oil. Cook until golden brown. This will probably take about 5 minutes depending on your waffle maker.
That’s it! I told you it was super easy, didn’t I? We enjoyed these easy apple waffles (or rather apple puffles) with some blueberries, vegan vanilla ice cream, and plums. It was soooo good!
We’ve also made one batch with bananas, chocolate, and peanut butter and they were awesome as well!! My boyfriend, Flo, told me he’d love me even more if I made him these waffles every day. Haha! He even came up with a genius video on Youtube that is called “6 Unique Meals Using a Waffle Maker“. These guys make a falafel burger in a waffle maker! How crazy is that?! Can’t wait to give it a try though!
I hope you guys like these super quick vegan apple strudel puff pastry waffles as much as we did!
As always, I love hearing from you!!
Have a great week! xx

- First unroll the pastry. I cut it into three 5x10-inch rectangles, which worked perfectly for my waffle maker. As they're all different, the best thing is maybe to measure the cooking surface of your waffle maker before you get started. Then just roll each piece of pastry to the same width of your waffle maker but double the length of it.
- Then cut an apple into thin slices and put them on one half of the pastry rectangle. Sprinkle them with some cinnamon and agave. Fold the other half of each piece of pastry over and seal the edges.
- Then heat the waffle maker and lightly grease it with some oil, for example coconut oil. Cook until golden brown. This will probably take about 5 minutes depending on your waffle maker.
- Serve them with vegan vanilla ice cream and some fresh fruits.
OH MY GOODNESS! What a brilliant idea! Now I really, really want a waffle maker :D
Haha! I just got one a couple of weeks ago and I absolutely LOVE it! :-)
Now if only they made gluten-free/vegan puff pastry ;)
Yeah, that would be great, Rebecca! :-) At least there are quite a few vegan ones.
This might me the most amazing thing to happen in a waffle maker :o Just the thought of buttery flaky waffle sounds like breakfast heaven, but then you shove fruit in there and I have no words!!! And the variations you tried all sound incredible! Sina you are a genius <3
Haha! Thanks, Natalie! :-) So glad you like it. It kinda is like waffle cheating. ;-)
I still really like the name “puffles”. ?. I can’t believe how good these look. I never realized you could do this with puff pastry!
I do too, Amanda! :D
Oh man. I think it’s time to dust off my waffle iron!
OH wow!!! Puff pastry waffles for real?? What an incredible idea, Sina! I would have never thought of using puff pastry sheets this way. They are so so GOOD! Need to give them a try ASAP.:)
This is brilliant! Two of my favorite things in one pretty little package.
I can not believe these don’t need a batter! They are stunning and sound so amazingly delicious! You are genius, Sina! I MUST get myself a waffle maker!!
So I saw these a couple of days ago and I was like “Wait, what?! Are these real?!” Yeah, they are. And they need to be in my belly!
Wow! This sounds heavenly! Not sure if I want it for breakfast or dessert or both! Yum!
Well these waffles are truly the simplest I came across so far. They are just perfect for those: “I really won’t something sweet, healthy to eat, and I want it now!” days. ;)
Great recipe, Sina!
this is perfect!!!! i hardly ever use my waffle maker so definitely need to try it out :)
Haa, you also use the same “Kartoffelschäler” like my grandmom used to have in her kitchen! Even though I much prefer a chef’s knife, this thing always brings good memories! :-)
Plus waffles are awesome, Sina!
I’ve got to make these!
OMG! What an amazing idea. They look fantastic. I so need to try this!
I love apple strudel too! What a clever idea to use your waffle iron!
I need one of these right now! I’l have to go get some puff pastry tomorrow.
I could eat an entire stack of these! I don’t ever buy puff pastry, but these sure do look yummy and would be a good reason to get some!
Looks like a good excuse to bust out my waffle maker. :)
