Tired of serving bruschetta at dinner parties? Try this sophisticated apple paste and manchego tapa instead. Your guests will certainly leave impressed!

This apple paste, or dulce de manzana is a typical recipe from the northern part of Spain. This apple paste is similar to the famous quince paste, dulce de membrillo, a true staple food in many Spanish regions. Similarly, apple paste and strong cheeses go together like a horse and a carriage. Here, I have paired dulce de manzana with a hearty Manchego cheese.
