Heat the oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Toast the bread. Slice the apples into ½  inch thick wedges and place them in the warm skillet, sprinkle with spice and salt Add dried fruit if you want. Sauté 4 minutes or until golden on one side before turning over. Don’t stir too much, leave them be, so they develop a little color. Turn over, let cook another 3-4 minutes until tender and golden. Drizzle maple syrup over, stir, and let apples darken for just a minute. Spoon the warm apples over your toast, letting the drippings moisten the bread.( Or spread almond butter on the toast first layering the apples over top). Eat with a knife and fork.
