• 1 cup feta cheese or goats cheese,
• 1 cup pecans, toasted, chopped into small pieces, optional

1. Mix the fig jam with the maple syrup, the salt, cinnamon in a small metal conainer and heat it over simmering water for a few minutes so that the mixture somewhat liquifies, then cool.
2. Preheat oven or toaster oven to 350 degrees and toast the pecans for about 8 minutes and set aside.
3. Slice the green apples into 1/8-1/4 inch slices with the skin on, but cored, and pour the lemon juice over it to prevent browning, and then arrange on individual 8 plates or one large platter.
4. Remove the skin and pith of the oranges and a arrange the sections decoratively over the apple slices.
5. Place teaspoons of feta cheese over each apple slice and sprinkle some around the sides of the place.
