Notes

Note 1: Use your favorite crisp apple. I like to stick with sweeter apples (i.e., not Granny Smith). Gala, Jazz and Honeycrisp are favorites.

Note 2: I recommend crumbling the goat cheese immediately after removing it from the fridge. Once it starts to warm up, it becomes a little messier to crumble.
