Ingredients
- 200 g Sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 slices Brown bread
- 2 medium Apples (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp Brown sugar
- 0.5 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp Fresh thyme leaves (optional)
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Pepper
Directions
Step 1
Core and thinly slice the apples, leaving the skin on for added texture.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow it to melt and bubble slightly.
Step 3
Add the apple slices to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
Step 4
Sprinkle the apples with brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Stir well to coat the apples evenly.
Step 5
Continue to cook the apples for another 5-6 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper for balance. If desired, sprinkle fresh thyme leaves for added flavor. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 6
Toast the slices of brown bread until golden and crisp. You can use a toaster, grill pan, or oven broiler.
Step 7
Cut the sharp cheddar cheese into thin slices or small cubes, depending on your preference.
Step 8
Assemble each serving by placing a generous portion of sautéed apples on top of the toasted brown bread. Add slices or chunks of cheddar cheese on top of the apples.
Step 9
Serve warm as an appetizer or snack. Optionally, garnish with additional thyme leaves for presentation.
