Champagne Bellini Waffles

Directions

1. 1
   For the peaches:
2. 2
   Bring a pot of water to a boil ensuring there is enough room for your peaches to be added. Prepare an ice bath in a bowl. Place the whole peaches into the boiling water ensuring they are fully submerged. Keep them in the water for 40-60 seconds or less if skin splits quickly. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them directly into the ice bath to stop the cooking process.
3. 3
   When cool enough to handle, use a small paring knife to remove the skin which should slide right off. Repeat the entire process in a shorter amount of time in the boiling water if there are stubborn areas of skin that won't budge.
4. 4
   Remove the pits and slice the peaches to your liking. Then gently warm them in a small pan over medium heat with a sprinkle of brown sugar. Then keep warm until you are ready to serve.
5. 5
   For the waffles:
6. 6
   Preheat waffle iron and spray lightly with low fat cooking spray. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder. Add in the egg, applesauce, peach juice and champagne and stir until just combined but do not over mix.
7. 7
   Add 1/4 to 1/3 cup of batter to the waffle iron and cook according to manufacturer's instructions until golden brown. When done remove the cooked waffle to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
