Cheesy Apple Onion Grilled Cheese

Cheesy Apple Onion Grilled Cheese

1. Melt butter in a small cast iron skillet and once hot, add the onions and cook until softened. Add half the apple cider, cooking for another 3-5 minutes. Add the remaining apple cider and cook until onions are dark golden and caramelized. Mix in the thyme and prosciutto and cook prosciutto for about 2-3 minutes until firm – remove from heat.
2. In a large cast iron skillet, melt butter, and brush two slices of sour dough bread with either melted butter or olive oil. Sprinkle your seasoning on the oiled side of the bread, and on the dry side, layer your gruyere cheese, prosciutto or bacon, caramelized onions and Starr Ranch Growers apple slices. Place the second pieces of oiled bread on top to form a sandwich, with the oiled side facing upward. Add the sandwich to the buttered skillet, paying close attention and flipping after about 2 minutes on each side until nicely golden browned.
3. Top with additional seasoning and fresh thyme. Enjoy!

GF White Chocolate Caramel Apple Oatmeal Cookie Skillet

GF White Chocolate Caramel Apple Oatmeal Cookie Skillet

In a large mixing bowl combine the gluten free flour, baking soda and salt – whisk together to combine. In a separate bowl, mix together the butter, brown sugar, white sugar, eggs and vanilla until smooth. Slowly add in the dry ingredients, stirring until the dough begins to take shape. Stir in the white chocolate chips and chill the dough mixture in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. While the dough chills in the refrigerator, begin working on the apples. Add butter to a cast iron skillet and stir in the apple slices, brown sugar and apple pie spice blend and sauté until fragrant and soft, topping off with a drizzle of caramel, then cover with a thick layer of cookie dough – enough to completely cover the apples. Drizzle once more with caramel and top with pecan pieces. Bake for about 20 minutes or until the cookie is firm. Allow the cookie skillet to cool and top with salted caramel ice cream, additional pecan pieces and more caramel sauce. Enjoy!
