By Bostoncook

Ingredients

• 6 cups granny smith apple, chopped and peeled
• 1 cup sliced red onion, vertically sliced
• 1 cup golden raisins
• 1/3 cup white wine vinegar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 8 ounces Brie, thinly sliced
• 40 baguette slices (1/4-inch-thick)

Preparation

Step 1

1. Combine first 11 ingredients in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncover and cook for 5 minutes or until slightly thick, stirring occasionally. Cool.

2. Preheat oven to 400°.

3. Divide Brie slices into 40 even pieces. Spread 1 1/2 tablespoons compote over each baguette slice; top each with 1 piece of cheese. Arrange the slices on a large baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 5 minutes or until cheese melts. Garnish with thyme sprigs, if desired.

Notes: Excellent.
