Roasted Apples and Aged Goat Cheese

Warm, Roasted Apples and Aged Goat Cheese is a luxuriant after-dinner dessert. Roasting brings out an extra sweetness from the Fuji apples that pair up deliciously with the slightly salty and creamy ash-aged goat cheese. This is a light, refreshing dessert switch from the sweet desserts that we are prone to indulge in.

Ingredients

3 or 4 large apples your choice, we used Fuji
1/2 of a fresh lemon
2 tablespoons olive oil
Sea salt
6 ounces Humboldt Fog® Aged Goat Cheese
Fresh thyme sprigs for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper
Scrub the apples, cut into thick wedges and place on the prepared baking sheet. Squeeze lemon juice over the apple slices and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and transfer to the preheated oven.
Roast the apple slices just until they are tender—to the al dente stage, about 15-18 minutes, depending on their thickness. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet.
While the apples are roasting, remove the cheese from the refrigerator, unwrap the paper covering and place the cheese on a serving plate to adjust to room temperature, at least 30 minutes.
To Serve:
Place wedges of the roasted apple on individual dessert plates and add a thick 1-ounce wedge of the goat cheese to each plate. Garnish with thyme sprigs and serve.

Notes

Another serving option:

Place the roasted apples and the small wheel of cheese on a serving platter or cheese board with serving utensils and garnish with thyme sprigs.
