I created this appetizer for my love of sweet and savory together. They are French baguette toasts spread with an herb cheese. Then they are topped off with caramelized apples and onions. They are addictive and truly delicious. Enjoy!

How To Make apple onion jam

Step 1

In a hot pan, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the sliced onions and apples to the pan. Cook over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Cook and stir constantly until onions are caramelized. This takes about 10-15 minutes.
Step 3

Add in the brown sugar and balsamic vinegar. Stir to combine. Cook one minute.
Step 4

Add in the cider. Turn the heat to high. Bring to a boil. Stir occasionally until the cider cooks off.
Step 5

Add the garlic, salt, pepper, and thyme to the onion mixture. Stir to combine.
Step 6

Cook for one or two minutes while stirring. Remove from heat. Cover to keep the mixture warm.
Step 7

Cut baguettes into 1-inch slices. If desired, place them in the oven and toast them until light brown and a bit crunchy. I use a toaster oven. Spread the top of the baguettes with cream cheese. Top with the apple and onion mixture and serve immediately.
