directions: 'Preheat oven to 375F.


  Place a small saucepan over medium heat.  Add the figs, simple syrup, and brandy.  Bring
  the mixture up to a simmer.  Turn off the heat and let sit for 10 min.  Place
  the fig mixture and the pecans in a food processor and blend, pulsing a few times,
  until pureed. Set aside.


  Place the baguette slices on a heavy baking sheet.  Drizzle with olive oil.  Top
  each slice with 1 t. grated Pecorino Romano.  Bake until the bread is toasted
  and the cheese is melted and golden, about 7 min.


  Top each slice with 2 t. of fig jam, a slice of apple and a piece of shaved Pecorino
  Romano.  Transfer the toasts to a serving platter and serve.'
