Stovetop Baked Apples~With Recipe!

I used brown bread here, it's not quite as good as white bread
for this, but you can fool yourself into thinking it's healthy
since you are eating fruit and whole grains!

This amazing dessert can be eaten as breakfast as well. I cook thinly sliced Granny Smith apples in a frying pan over medium heat with some butter until they are soft and the skin is slightly discolored. Then I scoop them out, leaving as much butter in the pan as possible and fry up some white bread squares in the left over butter (and some extra if you want to add it). I pour some heavy cream over the apples, top them with the croutons and finally sprinkle a little sugar over the whole thing. If you want this for breakfast (something I highly recommend), just leave off the sugar and heavy cream and use whole grain bread instead of white bread. It also makes a great midnight snack, just leave off the cream and sprinkle about 1/2 tsp of cinnamon on the apples in the pan just as they start to get soft.

Ingredients for dessert version:
1 Granny Smith Apple, or other crisp apple, cored and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon unsalted butter for pan (plus extra if needed to add before the bread)
1 slice white bread, cut into small pieces
1/2 teaspoon sugar (or to taste)
2 tablespoons cold heavy cream (or to taste)

Serves 1 greedy person or 2 normal people for dessert and midnight snack, 1 for breakfast.

These quantities can be doubled easily (don’t double the butter), however if you do more than double you may need to make it in batches unless you have an exceptionally large sauté pan.
