Ingredients
  

  • 2 large tart-variety apples, peeled and diced in small cubes
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup (reserve approx. 2 tbsp for drizzle)
  • ½ tsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 round brie cheese, rind removes sliced into thin rounds
  • olive oil
  • 1/2 cup feta or goat cheese crumble
  • rosemary sprigs for garnish
  • baguette, thinly sliced

Method
 

  1. Assemble first six ingredients for topping and preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. Slice baguette and lightly brush slices on both sides with olive oil and arrange on baking sheet. Bake for approximately 3 minutes, flip and bake another 2 minutes until bread is lightly toasted.
  3. While bread is toasting, melt butter in sauté pan and add apples and cook until tender. Add cinnamon, syrup, and cranberries and cook for another 2 minutes. Finally add balsamic vinegar and warm through.
  4. Keep topping warm until toasts are ready. When bread is done, remove from oven, put on slice of brie, scoop on topping, sprinkle with feta crumbles, garnish with sprig of rosemary, and drizzle with extra syrup. Serve warm.

Notes

To make ahead: pretoast bread and make topping. Right before serving, keep cheese at room temp and reheat the topping before assembling.
