Apple-Boursin Cheese Sandwiches

This is a favorite of my friends.


Ingredients:
  • 2 apples, peeled, cored, and cut into thin slices
  • lemon juice
  • slices of 3-4 in wide baguette
  • Boursin cheese
Preparation:
  • Place the apple slices in a large bowl and mix with lemon juice. You only need enough to coat the sides of each slice, as this is enough to prevent browning.
    • If leaving overnight, lay each layer of soaked apples between sheets of paper towels in the fridge, as soaking the apples in liquid too long will make for mushy apples.
  • While the apples soak, spread the Boursin cheese on the top of the bread strips. 
  • Layer the apple slices on the top of the cheese.
  • Slice each sandwich diagonally.
