2 cups heavy cream
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup almond butter
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
2 tablespoons butter
1 Braeburn apple, peeled, cored and sliced thin
Juice of 1 small lemon (or half of a really juicy one)
Pinch kosher salt
Pinch pumpkin pie spice
2 slices cinnamon raisin bread
1 to 2 teaspoons coarsely chopped salted roasted almonds
1 to 2 teaspoons raisins

Steps:

For the salty almond sauce: In a small saucepan over moderate heat, add the almond butter, cream and sugar. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved and all ingredients are combined and cook until slightly thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Sauce will continue to thicken as it cools. Serve immediately for warm sauce or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Makes 1 1/2 cups.
For the toast: Melt the butter in a medium-high skillet over medium heat. Add the apple slices, lemon juice, salt and pumpkin pie spice. Toss until the apples until heated through and are slightly soft, about 3 minutes.
Toast the bread as desired.
To plate, place toast on a plate and top with warm apples. Drizzle salty almond sauce on the toasted bread and finish with a sprinkle of toasted chopped almonds and raisins.
