Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bread slices (preferably sourdough or rustic)
- 2 medium apple (crisp varieties like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons honey (optional, for drizzle)
Instructions
Core the apples and thinly slice them (about 1/8-inch thick). Toss the slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once melted and slightly bubbling, add the apple slices.
Sprinkle the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt over the apples. Stir gently to coat all the slices.
Cook the apples for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and caramelize. Stir in the vanilla extract during the last minute of cooking, then remove from heat.
While the apples are cooking, toast the bread slices. You can use a toaster or butter both sides with the remaining butter and toast them in a skillet until golden and crisp.
Arrange the caramelized apple slices on top of the toasted bread in an even layer.
Drizzle with honey (optional), if desired, and serve warm.
