"This is a delicious recipe that I found on a box of Brenton sesame crackers. I really love the flavor and texture of this spread and it couldn't be easier to put together. I like serving this as an appetizer on Thanksgiving."

This delightful fruit spread won rave reviews from my guests. They all asked for the recipe (which I knew they would, so I already had them printed up). The creamy/crunch trexture really puts this over the top. Thanks so much Lucky in Bayview, for sharing it with us.

This is a great sweet and creamy dip! I used low-fat whipped cream cheese and it was great in this. I was a little short on the pecans; next time I'll definitely add more. Served with multigrain crackers and really enjoyed - thanks for sharing the recipe! Made for Spring PAC 2010

Made this up just to see how I'd like doing it again during the winter holidays, & it's definitely a big hit for us! I did use a freshly picked Jonathan apple as well as homemade apple cider (instead of the apple juice), both of which we got last weekend when we ventured into the apple orchards area at Oak Glen CA! Great combo of flavors in this spread ! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed just for the 'halibut!']
