I'm becoming more accustomed to cooking in cast iron. I never really cooked in it before except within the last year; it's the only thing my boyfriend really cooks in. He swears by it.
Today is my Sunday -yes, it is Monday - I have Sundays and Mondays off. I love my weekend because I can wake up and breakfast. I don't have to wake up at 5:30 in the morning when I'm definitely not hungry! I'm usually not even hungry until now 830 or 9 AM, sometimes even later.
I made caramelized apples in the cast iron pan and I put them on top of dry potato bread toast.
Ingredients:
One Fuji apple, diced into bite-size pieces or smaller
Lemon juice
Cinnamon
Lemon juice
Lemon zest
Butter
Sugar
I started off by dicing the Apple into bite-size pieces or even smaller. I also peeled the apple; however, did not remove all of the peel and left a little on because I don't mind it and there is nutritional value in it.
I put the diced apples in a bowl, then I sprayed a little lemon juice on it, shaved little bit of lemon zest from my frozen lemon that I keep in the freezer (which I will talk about in another post), and then I added the cinnamon and mixed it all together and set it aside.
I put about 1 to 2 tablespoons of butter in the castiron pan and let it melt. Added about a 1/4 cup of sugar until it turned brown and caramelized. then added the diced apple. The juice from the apples really made this. It thinned out the caramel so it wasn't so thick. I turned off the stove top and allowed the apples to sit for a bit.
I toasted a piece of potato bread. Then plated the dry toast and topped with the caramel used apples!
YUM
