Let me tell you about the culinary adventure that is the Cinnamon Apple Almond Butter Crunch Toast. This dish is what happens when your kitchen decides to throw a party and only invites ingredients that know how to have a good time. It's like the food equivalent of a cozy sweater on a chilly day. And the best part? It takes about as long to make as it does to scroll through your ex's Instagram—5 minutes, tops.

First up, you'll need a slice of bread. I went with sourdough because I like my bread like I like my humor—slightly tangy and complex. Then, grab 1-2 apples, depending on whether you're feeling selfish or generous. Now, the almond butter is the unsung hero here. I use the one made by Woodstock Foods, because it whispers sweet, nutty nothings to the apples. But hey, if you're in a committed relationship with peanut butter, I'm not here to judge. You'll also need cinnamon, maple syrup, a sprig of rosemary that you definitely didn't steal from your neighbor's garden, olive oil, and butter—because why not?

Here's how this magic happens: Slice your apple(s) into what food bloggers would call "rustic chunks." Then, introduce them to a hot skillet with a swish of olive oil, a dollop of butter, and that pilfered rosemary. Give it about 2 minutes before you make it rain cinnamon. Stir those apples around like you're DJing a very niche club night. After about 3 minutes, they should be soft and fragrant, kind of like your favorite pillow. Meanwhile, toast your bread to the point of perfect crunchiness—this is no time for soggy bottoms. Slather that golden-brown canvas with almond butter, pile on the spiced apples, and finally, drizzle it with maple syrup like you're painting a masterpiece. And there you have it, a breakfast so good it might just make you forget about the cold weather outside. Or at least distract you until your next meal.
