• Makes 2 servings.
• Preheat broiler.
• Arrange toasts in 1 layer in a shallow baking pan. Mash together butter and curry powder and spread on toasts. Arrange apple on toasts, then top with watercress and cover evenly with cheese. (Tuck watercress under cheese to prevent it from burning.)
• Broil sandwiches about 6 inches from heat until cheese is melted and lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Whisk together sugar & cinnamon in medium bowl, then add apple slices, & toss to coat.
• Cut cheese slices in half diagonally.
• Place crackers on a baking sheet, & top each with 1 cheese slice & 2 apple slices.
• Bake 4-5 minutes, until cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Cook's Note: For a substitute for curry powder, combine 2 teaspoons turmeric, 1 1/2 teaspoons each ground cumin and ground coriander, 1/2 teaspoon each ground mustard and ground ginger and 1/4 teaspoon each ground cinnamon and cayenne pepper. For the curried squash soup: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Dress the squash with the EVOO to coat lightly. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and a little freshly grated nutmeg, and coat with the curry powder. Drizzle the honey all over and roast until golden on the edges and very tender, about 25 minutes. The spices will toast with the squash and fill the air with a terrific aroma. Meanwhile heat a drizzle of EVOO in a soup pot over medium to medium-high heat, and then add the butter to melt. Stir in the garlic, carrots, apples and onions and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, partially covered, until softened, about 10 minutes. Pour in the stock and a drizzle of honey (or chutney). Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook until the vegetables are softened, about 20 minutes. Add the roasted squash and puree with an immersion blender, thinning the soup with water if necessary. The soup can alternately be pureed in batches in a food processor or high-power blender. Adjust the seasoning. Cool and store for a make-ahead meal, bringing to room temperature before reheating over a medium flame. Garnish with the scallions and cilantro. For the apple and cheddar melts: Spread each bread slice with softened butter on 1 side and chutney on the other. Fill the sandwiches, chutney sides-in, with the cheese and apples in the center. Griddle the sandwiches over medium heat until deeply golden and the cheese has melted.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Cut cheese slices diagonally in half. Mix sugar and cinnamon in medium bowl. Add apples; toss to coat.
• Place crackers on baking sheet; top with cheese and apples.
• Bake 4 to 5 min. or until cheese is melted. Serve warm.
