Flatbread with Cinnamon Apples
makes 2 servings
1 slice naan or other plain flatbread
cinnamon sugar (1 tablespoon ground cinnamon in 1/4 cup raw sugar will make plenty to have on hand)
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and cut into slices
1 tablespoon raw sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon unsalted butter, melted
turbinado sugar for garnish
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, toss together the apple slices, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.
3. Melt one tablespoon of unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
4. Add the apple mixture to the skillet and cook the apples until softened, about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally.
5. Melt 1 teaspoon of butter in a small dish. Use a pastry brush to brush the melted butter over the top of the flatbread.
6. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the flatbread.
7. Top the flatbread with the cooked apples.
8. Bake in the oven for 5 minutes.
9. Remove from the oven, let cool, and serve. (Vanilla bean ice cream would be an excellent accompaniment, as would some caramel sauce -- additions I will definitely try next time I make this!)
