Apples and Brie

Fresh Direct gets apples from Red Jacket Orchard, but since all the orchard has are mushy old apples from last year (I presume), they're offering good apple butter. I'm on my second jar. It's great with almond butter on a sandwich, but I also had it with ham and Cheddar.

Last night I wanted to finish up some brie we had and figured, Why not? What's better with brie than a nice, crisp Granny Smith?

Turns out it's a thick coat of apple butter. This took the form of a baguette sandwich with a generous wad of brie, apple butter and Boston lettuce. The classic pairing of apples and brie was really nice with the crunchy bread and buttery lettuce.
