Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large Apples, (cored and sliced (see notes))
2 tbsp Maple Syrup ((see notes))
1 tbsp Butter
1-2 sprigs of Fresh Thyme ((optional))
8 medium slices of Bread ((see notes))

Pour in 2 tbsp maple syrup along with your fresh thyme (optional). Lower the heat very slightly and stir to coat the apple. Gently fry until the apple is soft (but not breaking apart) and caramelized/sticky. Remove and wipe out the pan.

  • Fry: Add to a non-stick pan over medium heat and fry both sides until golden with the cheese just starting to leak out. You may need to do this in two batches. Serve up and enjoy!
