Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 large Honeycrisp Apple, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup Caramel Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- Pinch of Salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, turning once, until the bread is lightly golden and crisp. Remove from the oven.
- In a small bowl, gently toss the thinly sliced apples with lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt. This keeps the apples looking fresh.
- Arrange the seasoned apple slices neatly over the toasted baguette rounds.
- Drizzle generously with the caramel sauce over the apples.
- Serve immediately and share the warmth.
Notes
- You can use any firm, crisp apple variety you prefer.
- For an extra layer of flavor, sprinkle toasted pecans or walnuts over the caramel before serving.
- If you want a slightly softer base, you can skip the toasting step and serve on fresh bread.
