3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Time 10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 medium apples - peeled, cored, and cubed
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or more to taste
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add apples to the melted butter. Add sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla; saute until apples are soft, 3 to 5 minutes.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 101.1 calories, Carbohydrate 13.2 g, Cholesterol 15.3 mg, Fat 5.9 g, Fiber 2 g, Protein 0.3 g, SaturatedFat 3.7 g, Sodium 1.6 mg, Sugar 10.3 g

Tips:

  • Prep the Oats Properly: For the best texture, use a food processor to grind the oats into a fine flour. If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender or a rolling pin to crush the oats until they resemble flour.
  • Don't Overwork the Dough: When mixing the dough, be careful not to overwork it. Overworking the dough will make the oatcakes tough. Mix just until the dough comes together.
  • Chill the Dough: After mixing the dough, chill it for at least 30 minutes. This will help the dough to firm up and make it easier to work with.
  • Use a Sharp Knife: When cutting the oatcakes, use a sharp knife to ensure clean, even cuts. A dull knife will tear the dough and make it difficult to get nice-looking oatcakes.
  • Bake the Oatcakes Until Golden Brown: Bake the oatcakes until they are golden brown around the edges. This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a slightly crispy texture.

Conclusion:

Apple Topped Oatcakes are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them plain or topped with your favorite fruits, nuts, or seeds, these oatcakes are sure to be a hit.
