Sweet & Tangy Caramelized Apple Toast
How to Make Simple and Delicious Caramelized Apple Toast with Seasonal Apples
I couldn’t resist buying two bags of apples during a buy-one-get-one-free sale, and since I still had plenty left, I decided to make some caramelized apples. Topped on toast, they were incredibly sweet, tangy, and absolutely delicious! This recipe is perfect for a quick breakfast or a delightful snack.
Main Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized fresh apple
- 4 slices of soft bread
- Butter (to taste for cooking)
Flavor Enhancers
- 1 Tbsp sugar (for sweetness)
- Pinch of cinnamon powder (to taste)
- Pinch of Parmesan cheese (optional, for a savory touch)
- 1 Tbsp sugar (for sweetness)
- Pinch of cinnamon powder (to taste)
- Pinch of Parmesan cheese (optional, for a savory touch)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare one ripe apple. You can choose your favorite variety.
Step 2
Wash the apple thoroughly, then cut it into four wedges. Carefully remove the core from each wedge. Slice the apple wedges into about 0.5 cm thickness. In a bowl, toss the apple slices with 1 tablespoon of sugar and a sprinkle of cinnamon powder. Mix well to coat.
Step 3
Place a frying pan or saucepan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt. You’ll notice a wonderful aroma as the butter heats up.
Step 4
Add the seasoned apple slices to the pan and sauté for about 2 minutes. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become too mushy.
Step 5
Sauté the apples just until they are slightly tender but still retain a bit of crispness. Cooking them briefly will bring out their natural sweetness.
Step 6
Cut the bread slices in half. If serving to children, you might want to cut them into smaller pieces.
Step 7
In a separate non-stick frying pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over low heat.
Step 8
Once the butter is melted, place the bread slices in the pan. Grill them, flipping occasionally, until they are golden brown and toasted on both sides. The goal is a crispy exterior and a soft interior.
Step 9
Arrange the warm caramelized apples generously on top of the toasted bread slices.
Step 10
Finish with a light dusting of Parmesan cheese, if desired. This adds a delightful savory note that complements the sweet and tangy apples. Enjoy your delicious caramelized apple toast!
