Apple Scramble

This is by far the most clever thing I've ever made (sadly not my own idea).  I'm also not a huge fan of cooked fruit, but somehow using crisp and tangy Granny Smith apples, with copious amounts of butter and cinnamon, it somehow works for me.  Also, this scramble doesn't even seem much like eggs, but more of a porridge or pudding.  It's not too sweet though, but that's just how I like it.  

It's such a delicious and unique way to spice up your boring breakfast regime!

INGREDIENTS:

- 2 large organic Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and diced into bite-sized pieces

- 2 heaping tablespoons good quality butter or ghee (I use Kerrygold Irish butter)

- 5 large eggs (preferably from pastured hens)

- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (plus more for sprinkling)

- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

- sea salt, to taste

DIRECTIONS:

1. Melt butter or ghee in a frying pan over medium heat.  

2. Add the apples, and sprinkle generously with cinnamon until the apples are coated.  Cook until the apples are tender; about 5 minutes.

3. Crack eggs into a small bowl, then add vanilla and 1/4 teaspoon each of cinnamon and nutmeg.  whisk to combine.

4.  Pour egg mixture on top of apples, and cook until eggs are just done.  Don't overcook them.  

5.  Dish up and sprinkle with a little salt and cinnamon on top, and enjoy!
