Not my picture, but here's what it looks like.

Had some girlfriends over last night and this is one of the appetizers I made.

Here's one I am going to try, next time there is the opportunity.

Fig and Goat Cheese Canapes

INGREDIENTS:
1 baguette
1 cup fig jam
12 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
Honey, to drizzle (optional ¡ª very sweet!)

DIRECTIONS:
1. Cut baguette into 1/2¡å slices, discarding the ends.
2. In a large toaster oven set to low heat, or conventional oven heated to 275 degrees, toast bread for about 5 minutes, just for crispness.
3. While the bread is still warm, spread each slice with about a tablespoon of jam.
4. Drop goat cheese crumbles on top of all the slices, roughly evenly.
5. Drizzle with honey if desired, and serve!

Serves 6-8 as an appetizer

Everyone seems to like this...rarely have any left over when it is brought/served!

I'm drooling, Guys! thanks!

These all sound great, I am cutting and pasting like mad! I've got a question for Connie on the Apple Pie Bars. What size pan do you use, and do you butter or grease it? Thanks!

Last time I used a 10X15 pan (jelly roll size)but the bars are thinner then, I have also used a 9x13 size. The dough is just like pie crust so I did not grease the pan.

Thank you! Can't wait to make it!
