| Toutons with Maple and Brown Sugar Apples |
Happy Pancake Day! As in many places here in Newfoundland, we celebrate mardi gras, or fat Tuesday by indulging in pancakes, usually for our supper meal. As children, we wold eat as many as possible to collect the coins my mother cooked inside the pancakes and many an eating contest ensued among 6 kids to see who would have the most pocket money the next day.
As traditional as pancakes are on this day, I can't help but think that other delicious Newfoundland tradition, the touton, would be just as appropriate a feast item for this long celebrated day of indulgence. To that end I offer up this suggestion to elevate your toutons to something special to enjoy with the family today. We served these at our weekend brunch last week to rave reviews.

Peel and cut into wedges
6 medium sized apples
To a large saute pan add
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
Melt butter in a large sauté pan. Add the brown sugar, maple syrup and cinnamon. Simmer until the syrup foams, then add the sliced apples and simmer until the apples are fork tender but not mushy. Spoon over the toutons and serve.
