Apple and Brie Toast

This is an appetizer I made for Thanksgiving. It is courtesy of my friend, Claudia.

Apple & Brie Toast

Ingredients:

1 French loaf, sliced

Brie cheese, sliced (or cheese of your choice)

Apples, sliced thinly

½ cup pecans, chopped

¼ cup brown sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

¼ cup butter

Directions:

Toast slices of bread on cookie sheet under oven broiler. Place slices of cheese on bread. Cover cheese with slices of apple. Mix pecans, brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter. Put 1 tsp of mixture on each apple. Heat in oven until butter and cheese melts.

Now, when Claudia made it, it had some kind of garlic butter on the toast. I know that it sounds weird, apples, cheese, brown sugar, and garlic, but it was awesome! That part wasn't listed in the recipe, but I think I would do it like this: spread a little butter on the bread before toasting it. Then, when the toast comes out, rub a garlic clove on it to impart the garlic flavor. Then proceed as directed. I'll have to ask her if that's how she did it.

But even without that, these were a hit at Thanksgiving. Sorry I didn't get a picture. I guess I'll have to make it again sometime soon! (Darn! :)
