Main Ingredients
- 2 Apples
- 3 slices Thick-cut Bread
- 2 Fresh Eggs
- 3 Tbsp Brown Sugar
- 40g Butter (divided into 30g + 10g portions)
- 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 2 apples. Wash them thoroughly and cut each apple in half.
Step 2
Using a knife, carefully core the apples to remove the hard, seedy center. This helps maintain a nice shape as they simmer.
Step 3
Peel the apples using a vegetable peeler or paring knife. This step is recommended if you prefer not to have the texture of the apple skin.
Step 4
Slice the peeled apples thinly, about 0.5 cm thick. If the slices are too thick, they will take longer to cook down.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to simmer the apples. Heat a pan over medium heat and add 30g of butter and 3 tablespoons of brown sugar.
Step 6
Once the butter begins to melt in the pan, add all the sliced apples.
Step 7
Gently stir the apples to coat them evenly with the butter and sugar mixture. This ensures they get a lovely coating.
Step 8
As the sugar melts, it will create a delicious caramelized flavor with the apples. Stir gently with a spatula or chopsticks, being careful not to mash the apple slices.
Step 9
Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. The cinnamon will enhance the apple’s natural flavor. Feel free to add a little more if you love cinnamon.
Step 10
Stir everything gently again to ensure the cinnamon and sweetness are evenly distributed throughout the apples.
Step 11
Simmer over medium-low heat for about 6-8 minutes, or until the apples become translucent and develop a beautiful, rich brown color. Avoid stirring too frequently to prevent the apples from breaking apart.
Step 12
In a separate bowl, crack 2 fresh eggs and whisk them well, breaking up the chalazae. This is for dipping the toast.
Step 13
Now, let’s prepare the toast. Melt the remaining 10g of butter in a pan over medium-low heat. The butter will add a lovely richness to the toast.
Step 14
Dip each slice of bread into the whisked egg mixture, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated. Let the bread soak up the egg batter.
Step 15
Place the egg-dipped bread into the pan with the melted butter. Cook until both sides are golden brown and delicious, similar to French toast.
Step 16
On the beautifully toasted bread, generously spoon the warm, sweet, and fragrant apple compote you just made. The warmth and sweetness of the apples will meld perfectly with the toast.
Step 17
And there you have it – your delicious Apple Compote Toast is ready! Enjoy it immediately while it’s warm for the best flavor. Treat yourself to this wonderful homemade cafe creation!
