Bake about 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve warm.

Using a fresh unpeeled pear such as Anjou or Bosc would be a delicious alternative to the apple in this recipe.
Consider using two serving trays for each appetizer served. When one tray is on the buffet table, the empty tray can be refilled in the kitchen to quickly replace the other when needed.
