bacon cheddar waffles with apples

for the last couple weeks, i've been in a dinner making rut. the time crunch between the time we get home from work & the time the kids need to be in bed seems to be getting smaller and smaller, meaning the time we have to actually cook dinner is also getting smaller. while some may disagree, one of our newest favorites has been waffles for dinner. they're easy to make, infinitely adaptable, and toddlers love them - ours now asks for them a couple nights a week. not to mention jason was head over heels with this combo - bacon + cheddar always wins in our house.

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
about 1/2 pound bacon cooked and crumbled

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 large peeled & sliced hard apple, such as gala, jonagold, or granny smith
