Fall breakfast at its best with this fabulous Pumpkin Waffle Board! This beautiful board makes for such a comforting and delicious breakfast to enjoy with your loved ones. From the crispy pumpkin spice waffles to the sautéed honey cinnamon apples, it’s love at first sight and bite.
There is so much yumminess on this breakfast board that I don’t even know where to start. Everyone can top their own pumpkin waffles with a beautiful selection of toppings like honey cinnamon butter, sautéed apples, cinnamon sugar pecans, pumpkin seed and pecan granola clusters, pomegranate seeds, chocolate chips, honey and maple syrup. With some baked bacon, mandarin oranges and fresh apple slices on the side, it’s a breakfast spread that’s sure to excite and satisfy everyone!
Start by making the baked bacon, pumpkin waffles and sautéed apple topping. See below for my Pumpkin Waffle recipe and how to make the sautéed apple topping.
Once the pumpkin waffles and bacon are ready, keep them warming in a 200°F oven while the sautéed apple topping stays warming on the stove.
To build the board, I used my favorite 20″ round walnut wood board.
To assemble the board, arrange small bowls of cinnamon sugar pecans, pumpkin seed & pecan granola clusters, honey cinnamon butter, pomegranate seeds, semi-sweet chocolate chips and white chocolate chips on the board. Add small jars of honey and maple syrup to the board.
You can make your own honey cinnamon butter or Kroger has a delicious Butter with Honey & Cinnamon that I used on this board. It’s so creamy and perfectly flavored. Perfect for spreading on waffles, toast, muffins, and even sautéing apples with.
Once the toppings are arranged on the board, add the Honeycrisp and Granny Smith apple slices, half of a pomegranate with seeds, mandarin orange slices and little pumpkin mandarin oranges, which are made by peeling a mandarin orange and adding a sliver of a green apple to the top for the stem.
Finally, line the pumpkin waffles down the middle of the board. Stack the bacon on the left side of the board and put the sautéed apple topping in a mini skillet or serving bowl on the right side of the board.
Ta-dah! That’s all there is to it! A beautiful Pumpkin Waffle Board filled with all the festive flavors of the season that everyone is sure to enjoy!

Sautéed Apple Topping
Description
Fall’s favorite fruit sautéed in honey cinnamon butter for a deliciously perfect topping to waffles, pancakes or even ice cream!
Ingredients
- 2 cups chopped apple (I used Honeycrisp and Granny Smith)
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 tablespoons honey cinnamon butter
Instructions
- Add the chopped apples and 1 tablespoon water to a small skillet over medium heat. Cover and let the apples cook, stirring occasionally, until they’re just starting to soften and the water is absorbed, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the honey cinnamon butter to the skillet. Stir the apples and butter together until the apples are completely coated. Continue to sauté over low heat for an additional 5 minutes until the apples are of your desired softness.
