Equipment
- 1 Frying Pan Medium-sized skillet
- 1 Spatula For stirring and flipping
- 1 Chef's knife For slicing apples
- 1 Cutting Board For preparing apples
- 1 Toaster (Optional, for bread)
Ingredients
Main
- 1 pc apples sliced thinly
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 can premium corned beef
- 2-4 pc lettuce leaves
- 4 slices of multigrain bread
Instructions
- Thinly slice the apple using a sharp knife, removing the core.
- In a medium frying pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the thinly sliced apples and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar over the apples and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and caramelized, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the premium canned corned beef. Break it up with a spatula and heat through until warmed, about 3-4 minutes, breaking up any large pieces.
- Lightly toast the multigrain bread slices, if desired, for added texture and warmth.
- To assemble each sandwich, place two fresh lettuce leaves on one slice of bread.
- Spoon an even portion of the warm corned beef over the lettuce.
- Top the corned beef with a generous amount of the caramelized apples.
- Place the second slice of bread on top to complete the sandwich.
- Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
For the caramelized apples, use a firm, tart apple like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp to balance the sweetness and ensure they retain some texture. Cook until tender-crisp, not mushy. When preparing the corned beef, gently warm it through; if using canned, consider lightly crisping it in the pan for added texture. Toasting the multigrain bread lightly before assembly enhances the sandwich's structural integrity and provides a pleasant textural contrast. To elevate the flavor, a very thin spread of Dijon mustard or a light horseradish cream on the bread can cut through the richness of the beef and complement the sweet apples. Ensure lettuce is dry to prevent sogginess.
