Ingredients
- 2ounces cream cheese, softened at room
- temperature
- 2tablespoons powdered sugar, plus extra
- for dusting
- 1small baking apple, peeled, cored,
- and chopped
- 1tablespoon brown sugar¾ teaspoon cinnamon, divided
- 4slices brioche-style sliced bread (even
- better if you can find a cinnamon variety)
- 1egg
- ½teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2tablespoons milk or cream
- melted butter for brushing
- powdered sugar for dusting
- whipped cream for serving
Preparation
- Mix together softened cream cheese and
- powdered sugar until smooth; set aside. Combine
- chopped apple, brown sugar and ½ teaspoon
- cinnamon in a microwave-safe bowl and cook for
- 2 minutes, stirring halfway. Apples will be tender
- and saucy. Evenly spread the sweetened cream
- cheese on 2 slices of brioche bread, leaving at
- least a ½-inch border around the edges. Top with
- 3 tablespoons of the cinnamon apples, followed
- by the remaining two slices of bread.
- Preheat the Cuisinart® Sandwich Maker. While unit
- is preheating, beat together egg, vanilla extract,
- milk and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon. Lightly brush the
- plates with melted butter. Dunk each sandwich
- into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off,
- and carefully place onto the preheated Sandwich
- Maker. Use firm pressure to close lid; lock and
- cook. Green indicator light will go off and red light
- will come on (this may not happen immediately).
- When green indicator light reappears, sandwich is
- cooked. Add 15 to 30 seconds additional cooking
- time if a toastier sandwich is preferred. Remove
- with a heatproof silicone spatula. Allow sandwich
- to cool slightly for 2 to 3 minutes before serving,
- as filling will be very hot. Serve with any leftover
- cinnamon apples, a dusting of powdered sugar,
- and whipped cream
