"Diana, just a quick heads up to let you know we are still using your cookbook and the guys will often be heard saying what would Diana say about this or that....really good feed back... I made your potato salad and the oriental coleslaw on Sat. for a family luncheon and had rave reviews so thanks again."

Ingredients
| 1 | pack 2 Udi’s Gluten Free-French Baguettes | 1 |
| 1 | Granny Smith apple, cored, halved and cut into ¼-inch slices | 1 |
| 1 wedge | brie cheese, cut into 1 ½ inch pieces | 150 – 200 ml |
| 1 cup | cooked or canned cranberries, drained | 370 ml |
| ¼ cup | roughly chopped pecans | 50 ml |
| raw honey to drizzle |
Instructions
Prepare Udi’s French Baguettes according to package directions (do not over brown) and set aside to cool slightly. Turn baguettes on their side and gently slice with a serrated knife (be careful not to squish the bread) into 1-cm thick rounds and place on a baking sheet. Preheat an oven broiler to low. Place the baking sheet under the broiler to lightly toast the baguette rounds, about 1 minute. Remove from the oven and turn the rounds over. Top each with a slice of apple and a piece of brie. Return to the broiler for 1 minute, until the cheese just begins to melt. Top with a spoonful of the cranberries, a sprinkling of pecans, and drizzle with a little honey. Broil a further minute. Serve immediately.
Makes 16 to 18 crostini
