Ingredients

6-ounce log soft fresh goat cheese
Sugar
1/4 cup water
6 small grape clusters
Apple, cored and cut in six 1/3-inch wedges

Preparation

  1. Place one 1/2-inch-thick round of goat cheese (cut from log) on each of 6 plates. Spray cooling rack with nonstick spray and place over rimmed baking sheet.

Remove from heat and quickly add grape clusters 1 at a time to caramel. Using slotted spoon or long fork, transfer grapes to prepared pan. Repeat with apple. Dip spoon into caramel and drizzle over goat cheese rounds on plates. Add apple wedge and grape cluster to each plate.
