The Apples

I love using green (granny smith) apples for my apple pie filling recipe and for cooking mostly. The tartness of the apples is so well contrasted with the sweetness that it makes for an amazing recipe – no matter what you use them in. If you are not a big fan of granny smith apples, you can use any apple for this. I have used other apples such as pink lady apples for this recipe and they work just as well.

We prefer our apple pie and this apple pie ricotta toast a slight bit on the tart side, so using the granny smith apples works best for me. And they tend to hold their shape well too, so that helps too.

If you choose to use a sweeter apple, add about 1/4 teaspoon of lemon juice to the pan. This will give the tartness to the apples that granny smith apples have. But if you prefer your apples sweeter over tart, skip the lemon juice altogether. The idea is to use any kind of apple that will not disintegrate as you cook it.

Let’s start with washing, coring, and slicing the apple. Slice the apple into 1/3 inch slices. I find cutting them into this size helps hold the shape well. In a medium sized pan, heat the butter and honey together. If your butter isn’t at room temperature, it will burn easily, so it’s best to have it at room temperature. Also, if your honey is a little solid, it’s best to thin it a little first – just to ensure that it doesn’t burn.

Once the honey and butter have melted add, the cinnamon and mix it in well. Add the apples and toss so the apples are well coated with the butter and cinnamon. If the apples are too dry, add a couple of tablespoons of water to the pan. Let the apples cook on medium low heat for up to 15 mins – or until they are just starting to get soft.

The Apple Pie Toast

Toast your bread to whatever brownness you prefer. I like my toast crisp and brown. I find the softness of the cheese contrasts with the crispness of the toast. Spread a quarter of the ricotta onto each of the toast once it’s toasted. Once the apples are cooked, spread a quarter of the apples on top of the ricotta. If there’s any access syrup left in the pan, pour a little on each toast using a spoon. This adds a little more deliciousness to the toast.

Coarsely chop and spread the pistachio on top of the apples. Enjoy with a warm cup of coffee or tea.
