My take on the apple gorgonzola salad at Buca di Beppo. I have also made the dressing using Apple Cider Vinegar in place of the Balsamic with excellent results. It is a family and friend favorite!

Tips:

Select the Right Apples: Choose firm, tart apples that hold their shape when baked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
Core and Slice Apples Evenly: Use an apple corer to remove the cores, then slice the apples into uniform 1/2-inch thick slices. This ensures even cooking.
Make a Flavorful Gorgonzola Filling: Combine gorgonzola cheese, walnuts, bread crumbs, and fresh herbs to create a savory and nutty filling for the apples.
Drizzle with Balsamic Syrup: For a sweet and tangy glaze, reduce balsamic vinegar with honey and butter until it thickens into a syrup.
Bake Until Apples Are Tender: Bake the apples until they are tender and slightly caramelized, about 20-25 minutes.

Conclusion:

Gorgonzola baked apples with balsamic syrup is a delightful combination of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors. These elegant individual desserts are perfect for special occasions or a cozy fall evening. With a few simple ingredients and a touch of creativity, you can create a dish that will impress your guests and satisfy your taste buds. Try experimenting with different apple varieties, nuts, and cheeses to find your favorite combination.
