TODAY'S RECIPE - APPLE WEDGES WITH BRANDIED CHEESE
Although this can be served as an appetizer, I found it in my dessert section (probably because I like savory desserts).

Serves 12

2 packages (3 oz each) cream cheese, softened
4 oz blue cheese
2 tbsp brandy
1/2 cup ground pecans
2 tbsp finely chopped green onions
3 (1-1.5 lbs) apples (McIntosh, Red or Golden delicious)
2 tbsp lemon juice
chopped pecans for garnish

Beat cream cheese, blue cheese and brandy in small bowl just until smooth.  Stir in ground pecans and green onions.  Cover and refrigerate for a few hours to mellow.

Halve, core and slice apples.  Toss with lemon juice to prevent discoloration.

Shape cheese mixture into a ball.  Surround with apple slices.  Garnish top of cheese ball with chopped pecans.
