| Recipe Ingredients: |
| 1 |
packaged, flat pie crust |
| 1/2 |
cup candied walnuts, chopped |
| 1/4 |
cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese (or blue cheese) |
| 1 |
tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped, or 1/2 teaspoon dried |
| 2 |
Tbsp maple syrup |
| 2 |
large granny smith apples (or other good cooking apples such as jonagold or fuji), peeled, cored, chopped |
| 1 |
teaspoon of lemon juice (optional) |
Cooking Directions: |
| 1. |
Toss the walnuts, gorgonzola, thyme, chopped apples, and maple syrup together in a medium size bowl. As you are working with the apples (chopping them, mixing them in with the other ingredients), if you want, you can squeeze a little lemon juice on them to help keep them from discoloring. Cover the mixture with plastic wrap while you prepare the crust.

| 2. |
Preheat oven to 350
|
| 3. |
Bake for 45 minutes to an hour, until crust is nicely browned. If at any time it looks like the walnuts are getting a little burnt, you can lightly tent a piece of aluminum foil over the center.
Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving. A pizza wheel works great for slicing up the tart.
