Ingredients

Serves 6-8

　　5 sage leaves

　　1/2 cup honey

　　1 baguette, cut diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices

　　Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing

　　Kosher salt

　　freshly ground pepper

　　8 ounces mild blue cheese (such as gorgonzola), room temperature

　　1/2 apple, thinly sliced (preferably Macintosh or Honeycrisp)

　　

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small saucepan, warm the sage and honey over medium-low heat until fragrant and the honey just begins to bubble, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and let steep for 10 minutes. Discard sage and let honey cool to room temperature.

　　

Step 2

Lightly brush one side of each bread slice with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place slices on a rimmed baking sheet and toast in oven until golden brown, about 7 minutes. Remove from baking sheet and let cool. Spread blue cheese on baguette slices and top with apples and walnuts. Drizzle toasts with sage honey.

　　Do ahead:

　　Sage honey can be made ahead and stored, in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Baguette slices can be made 3 hours ahead and set aside, covered loosely at room temperature.
