Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 8 slices White bread (or brioche for a richer taste)
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Peel and core the apples, then slice them into thin wedges.
In a medium skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
Add the apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and lemon juice to the skillet.
Cook the apples for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and coated in a caramel-like sauce. Remove from heat and set aside.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of bread.
If desired, spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese on the unbuttered side of 4 of the slices of bread for extra creaminess.
Spoon a generous amount of the cooked apple mixture onto the cream cheese or plain side of the bread slices. Top each with another slice of bread, buttered side facing out.
Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool slightly.
Cut each sandwich in half and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Hot Apple Pie Sandwiches!
