Whenever I’m looking for a showstopper waffle recipe that is perfect for late summer early fall, these Apple Pancetta Waffles with Bourbon Cider Syrup are always a winner. I have been making these for a couple years now, inspired by a waffle recipe from Giada de Laurentiis, and my friends and family love them. Apples and bacon (or pancetta) are a delicious sweet and savory combo and if you add some bourbon to the mix – even better….

It’s hard to believe it’s time for #WaffleWeek. My gal Kim over at Feed Me Seymour had such a blast last year hosting a number of us sharing waffle recipes that she turned this annual event on its ear and this year we’ve got a number of amazing bloggers sharing the ultimate in waffle love. Last year, I brought my favorite Apple Cinnamon Waffles with Pancetta and Apple Cider Syrup so for this year I had to top that one. These Red Velvet Waffles with Bourbon Cherry Syrup and Cream Cheese Drizzle are the ultimate in waffle decadence!

Let me tell you what inspired these over the top waffles. There is a divine restaurant here in Philly called Supper and if you want a fabulous weekend brunch – that’s a must visit spot. They have this Red Velvet Waffle that is so decadent that you will swoon with each bite – it’s rich, dark and full of red velvet goodness. However, I have the patience of a gnat and waiting overnight for the waffle batter is a no go. So – this recipe inspired by this one from AllRecipes is my sorta zippy quick homage to their delicious brunch dish and if you make this for your next weekend brunch or even for a fun dessert, trust me when I say your friends and family will think you are a culinary rock star!…
