Ingredients:

Serving

6 dried figs, halved
1/2 cup simple syrup , recipe follows
2 tbsp brandy
1/4 cup hazelnuts, chopped toasted (i used pecans)
24 baguette , slices 1/4 inch
olive oil, for drizzling
1/2 cup pecorino romano cheese, grated
1 apple, thinly sliced into 24 slices ( granny smith or braeburn)
1/4 lb chunk pecorino romano cheese , for shaving 24 pieces

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Place a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the figs, simple syrup, and brandy. Bring the mixture up to a simmer. Turn off the heat and let sit for 10 minutes. Place the fig mixture and the hazelnuts in a food processor and blend, pulsing a few times, until pureed. Set aside.
Place the baguette slices on a heavy baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil. Top each slice with 1 teaspoon grated Pecorino Romano. Bake until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted and golden, about 7 minutes.
Top each slice of toast with 2 teaspoons of fig jam, a slice of apple and a piece of shaved Pecorino Romano. Transfer the toasts to a serving platter and serve.
Simple syrup:.
1/2 cup water.
1 cup sugar.
In a saucepan combine water and sugar over medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, until the sugar has dissolved. Take pan off heat and cool the syrup. Any extra cooled syrup can be saved in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
