I Challenged BJ to a Duel

What?! Am I crazy?! She's going to lay me out in lavender in no time flat. But, okay, put your dukes up, BJ, let's get this show on the road. ☺(Mixed metaphors much?) 

If you know BJ at Sweet Nothings, and I hope that you do, you know that she is an amazing blogger who excels at food photography. Every time I visit her, I gain a pound. It just so happens that I sent her a little recipe that she tried and enjoyed and that means just one thing: She is going to dress up that little bugger and make it a thing of beauty, which is a joy forever, until, as I mentioned already, you step on the scales. 

Apple Cheese Danish is an old Weight Watchers recipe from the 1960s. My mother, bless her heart, went on Weight Watchers and put the entire family on a diet. We began to look a bit emaciated in about six months time. Anyway, we all loved this recipe because it is a dieter's apple pie...sort of.

~forget the bananas...they are there for interest only a la BJ (course she's gonna use a flower...I think ☺)~
You will need the following ingredients for a single serving:
*an apple *a piece of bread *an ounce of cheese *cinnamon *sweetener of choice
Okay, that's the recipe for making a legal Apple Cheese Danish; these are the ingredients for an illegal Apple Cheese Danish:
*an apple or two or as many as you think would be tasty *a few pieces of bread, at least two *an ounce or two of cheese...who's counting? *cinnamon *a pat or two of butter *sugar or maple syrup, Honey, whatever floats your boat
Method: 
Melt butter in a skillet and add peeled and thinly sliced apples. Add enough water to help the apples stew down and become soft. Sprinkle cinnamon over the top. Very soon, your entire house is going to smell like an apple pie dream. Hmmmm...

An apple pie without some cheese is like a kiss without a squeeze.

~cheddar is my choice ~

Lightly toast your bread. Add that "ounce" of cheese (I have tried American, cheddar, and even cream cheese, but go with what appeals to you). When most of the liquid has simmered off, add the softened apples to the top of your waiting toast and cheese. Then broil until the cheese is bubbly. (I have a toaster oven that makes this easy-peasy.) Hope that you've made a great cup of coffee or tea to enjoy with your breakfast or lunch.

Now skedaddle off to BJ's and see how she handled this little recipe. Since she lives way down in west Texas, it's going to take you a minute!
