Sunrise Magicu00ae Caramelized Apple Bruschetta Recipes

SUNRISE MAGICU00AE CARAMELIZED APPLE BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• 1 Combine the mascarpone cheese, thyme, honey and a small pinch of salt in a mixing bowl and stir well to combine. Set aside.
• 2 Slice the bread into 6 or 8 one-inch slices, depending on the size of your loaf and how many servings you are making. Reserve any leftover bread for another use.
• 3 Using 2 tablespoons of butter, spread it evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
• 4 Preheat a griddle or large skillet on medium heat. Place the slices of bread, butter side down, on the griddle. Grill the bread until golden brown, about 5-10 minutes. Flip the slices over and grill on the dry side another 5 minutes. Transfer the bread to a serving platter, cover loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm and set aside.
• 5 Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet, preferably non-stick, over medium heat. When the butter starts to foam, carefully add the apple slices. Sautu00e9 until the apples begin to turn brown, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the apples and continue sautu00e9ing until the sugar has melted and the apples are golden brown and glossy another 5-10 minutes.
• 6 Assemble the bruschetta; spread some of the cheese mixture on a toasted bread slice, top with some caramelized apples and garnish with additional thyme leaves, repeat with remaining bread.
• 7 Serve immediately. Store additional cheese and sautu00e9ed apples separately in airtight containers on the refrigerator.

APPLE-GOAT CHEESE BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• Place bread slices on an ungreased baking sheet. Broil 3-4 in. from the heat for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown. Combine the apple, goat cheese, thyme, oregano and pepper; sprinkle over bread. Broil 1 minute longer or until cheese is softened.

CARAMELIZED APPLES

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Add the apples to the pan and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar.
• Sauté the apples, stirring frequently, for 6-8 minutes, until they just start to turn tender.
• Sprinkle the apples with the remaining sugar, cinnamon, and lemon zest.
• Toss the mixture gently and cook over medium heat for an additional 2 minutes, until the sugar begins to caramelize and the apples are crisp-tender.
• Transfer the apples from the skillet to a serving bowl with a slotted spoon.
• Turn the heat to high and add the apple cider to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits.
• Reduce the heat slightly and allow the cider and the pan juices to simmer for 1-3 minutes, until the sauce has reduced and thickened slightly.
• If you desire a thicker sauce, dissolve the cornstarch in a teaspoon of water, stir it into the sauce, and allow it to thicken for a moment.
• Pour the finished sauce over the warm apples and serve immediately.

CARAMELIZED APPLE AND ONION BRUSCHETTA WITH MELTED BRIE

Steps:

• Heat Olive Oil in a pan to medium high heat. Add Onions, seasoning with a pinch of salt. Cook until they begin to turn brown and caramelize. DO NOT BURN!
• Add apples, vinegar, and brown sugar. Reduce heat to medium. Saute until apples are cooked through and vinegar/brown sugar are absorbed.
• In the meantime, slice the brie into pieces that are similar in size to the baguette slices. Place one slice of cheese on each baguette slice. Broil for about 2-3 minutes, or until cheese melts and bread is crispy.
• Top each baguette slice with a spoonful of the caramelized apple/onion mixture. Serve warm.
• Idea! - This appetizer is great for a dinner party where pork is the main dish.
