So I was hosting a dinner party last weekend and wondering what I could serve as a healthier option dessert. I love apple season and really wonder why we save the crisps, and pies for fall?

He thought that the Fuji didn’t he an overwhelmingly good apple flavor, either – but I’m glad I went for it because we completely disagree! I really liked the texture of how mine turned out. I put a twist on a classic baked apple by adding some really great blue cheese that I had left over from a wine event the night before quicktime player mac. The cheese is mild and add’s just enough saltiness, not an overwhelming pungent blue. Try it! It turned out delicious!!
