Ingredients
- 3 Cups Granny Smith Apple Cored, Chopped Small
- 1/2 Cup Golden Raisins
- 1/2 Cup Blackberry Grill Sauce
- 1/8 cup Water
- 20 EA French Baguette Cut into 1/4 inch slices
- 4 OZ Brie Cheese Sliced Thin
Instructions
- Combine the first four ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a gentle boil. Simmer to slightly reduce the mixture while the apples cook down, stirring occasionally. Be careful not to over-reduce or overcook—the mixture should become thick but still flow like lava. Avoid burning the sugar. Cool down mixture and hold until ready to use.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet and bake for 2 minutes on each side, just until lightly crisped. Remove from the oven and top each slice with 1–2 tablespoons of the cooled blackberry mixture. Add a thin slice of brie on top of each. Return to the oven and bake for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. For a caramelized finish, place under the broiler for 30 seconds to 1 minute—watch carefully to avoid burning.
