##INGREDIENTS (makes 1/2 cup)##
* 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
* 1 tbsp fig jam
* 1 tsp finely chopped lemon zest
* 1 Granny Smith apple, cored
* 1 tbsp unsalted butter
* 2 dried figs, quartered
* 1/3 cup brown sugar
* Clover honey, for drizzling
(see INSTRUCTIONS below)
##INSTRUCTIONS##
1. Combine mascarpone, fig jam and lemon zest in a small bowl and refrigerate at least one hour.
2. Cut apple in half and then into wedges, about 1/4-inch thick.
3. Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Add apples and figs and sprinkle in brown sugar. Gently simmer until fruit begins to soften slightly, about 5 minutes. Do not overcook—keep apples firm. Remove from heat and cool.
4. Place mascarpone mixture on a serving dish. Garnish with apple wedges and figs. Pour some caramelized juices from pan on top. Crown with a light drizzle of honey.
