Ingredients
1 baguette
1 large tart apple, such as Granny Smith or McIntosh
1/2 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
250-g container spreadable cream cheese
1 cup crumbled Stilton
1/2 cup chopped toasted walnuts, or almonds
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, or 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
Instructions
Cut baguette into 1/2-inch (1-cm) slices, then toast, if you like. Peel apple, if you like. Remove core and chop into 1/4-inch (0.5-cm) pieces. Place in a medium-size bowl. Drizzle with lemon juice and stir to coat. Using a wooden spoon, stir in cream cheese and Stilton, leaving Stilton slightly chunky. Stir in walnuts and coriander just until evenly distributed. If making ahead, cover and refrigerate up to 1 day. To serve, heap about 1 tablespoon (15 mL) cheese mixture on each baguette slice or serve in a decorative bowl with apple and pear wedges and bread sticks for dipping.

Tart apple pieces mixed with pungent, creamy Stilton make an upscale spread for toasted baguette or apple slices. Or use it as a dip, substituting apple and pear wedges and bread sticks for the ho-hum celery and carrot stick dippers. This recipe can easily be halved.
