Ingredients

• 1 lb of humbolt fog cheese or other bloomy rind goat cheese
• 1 granny smith apple
• 1 sweet red apple, gala, or macintosh
• 1 fennel bulb, fronds reserved, white part sliced thin
• Cider Reduction
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 3 cloves
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup apple cider
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• pinch of salt
• a couple of turns of fresh ground black pepper
• Prepare your Hasty-Bake for grilling.
• For the reduction: Place ingredients in a sauce pot and simmer until syrupy and reduced by half. Strain, cool, and reserve. Can easily be made the day before and will keep for two weeks.
• Slice the green apple into 1/8in discs and toss with a little white sugar.
• Cut the red apple into any shapes you would like. It’s more fun that way!
• Grill the green apple rings until slightly soft and pretty.
• Arrange apples, cheese, and sliced fennel on a large board or plate.
• Drizzle with reduction, top with the fennel fronds and a couple of cranks from the pepper mill. Viola!
