      Title: Olaf's Blue Cheese & Walnut Apple Bake w/Peppered Honey
 Categories: Cheese, Fruits, Citrus, Booze
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      4 lg Baking apples

MMMMM------------------------RUM RAISINS-----------------------------
    1/4 c  Raisins
    1/4 c  Rum

MMMMM-----------------------PEPPERED HONEY----------------------------
      1 c  Buckwheat honey
      1 ts Thyme
      1 ts Black pepper
      1 ts Lemon zest or zest from half
           - lemon

MMMMM----------------------WALNUT STUFFING---------------------------
    1/2 c  Chopped walnuts
    1/4 c  Unsalted butter
    1/2 c  Blue cheese
      1 ts Chives sliced
      1 ts Parsley sliced
 
  In a small pot, heat the rum until warm; remove from
  heat, add raisins, and soak until soft and plump.
  
  Set the oven @ 325ºF/165ºC.
  
  In a small pot over medium-high heat, combine the honey,
  thyme, pepper, and lemon zest. Simmer for 3 minutes. Set
  aside.
  
  In a small pan over medium heat, toast the walnut pieces
  until heated through. Stir in the butter, raisins, and
  rum. Remove from the heat, then add the blue cheese and
  herbs.
  
  Remove the top third of each apple and hollow out the
  core with a spoon. Stuff the apples with the walnut
  mixture, place on a baking tray lined with parchment
  paper, and bake for at least 20 minutes, or until the
  apple flesh is tender when poked with a clean knife.
  
  Place on a warmed plate and drizzle with Peppered Honey.

  TIP: Cut a thin slice from the bottom of each apple
  prior to stuffing and baking. This will help it sit
  straight when baking or plating. Keep the top third of
  the apple with the stem still attached and place it on
  top of the stuffed apple as a lid for the last few
  minutes of baking.
