Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Brioche loaf
- 1 cup Mascarpone cheese
- 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 New Zealand apples (e.g., Braeburn or Fuji)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 2 teaspoons Honey
- 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Toast the brioche slices lightly on both sides until golden brown. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a small bowl, mix the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Peel and core the New Zealand apples, then slice them thinly into even wedges.
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the apple slices, brown sugar, and cinnamon, and cook for 5-7 minutes until the apples are tender and caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Spread a generous layer of the mascarpone mixture onto a slice of toasted brioche. Top with a layer of caramelized apples, then sprinkle with some chopped nuts if using.
Repeat the process to create a second layer and top with another slice of toasted brioche to form a club sandwich.
Drizzle a small amount of honey over the top of the sandwich and garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired.
Cut each sandwich diagonally into halves or quarters to serve. Enjoy immediately!
