Cranberry Walnut Brie Crostinis with a Maple Sugar Glaze Recipe

This past Thanksgiving I made a new appetizer that everyone went crazy for, cranberry walnut brie crostinis with a maple sugar glaze. 
Ingredients:
1 cup homemade cranberry sauce (I did this with one bag of whole cranberries, about 4T orange juice, and 1/4 cup of sugar. I made this on the stove and had a lot extra that we used for Thanksgiving dinner.) 
1 loaf of baguette bread, thinly sliced
1/2 pound wedge of brie cheese, warmed
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup brown sugar, for sprinkling 

Maple Sugar Glaze
3T pure Canadian maple syrup (leftover from my recent Canadian vacation!)
3T brown sugar
Directions:
First thinly chop a loaf of baguette bread and arrange it on a sheet pan.  Toast bread in oven for about ten minutes on 350F just until crispy.
While bread is in the oven, start the maple sugar glaze. Over a stove top on low heat cream the maple syrup and the brown sugar together until smooth. Set aside.
Next take bread out of the oven and start to warm brie using a microwave. 
Spread the brie over baguette slices. Spread cranberry sauce over baguette slices. Sprinkle chopped walnuts and a little of brown sugar over each crostinis. 
Then get a spoon and drizzle maple glaze over all crostinis and enjoy!
My family went crazy over these little crostinis! The picture might look a little messy, but they were so flavorful and excellent.
I hope everyone else who tries them likes them too!

Peanut Butter Apple Dip

Okay I eat this multiple times a week because it's literally so good!  I use Justin's Peanut Butter (vanilla or honey or whatever flavor you want, I've even tried almond butter which works great too), organic Stonyfield plain yogurt, and just a touch of honey!  Than I mix it all up and dip apples in it, and sometimes eat it just with a spoon because that's how good it is.  It's simple, healthy, and taste great!  Literally my go to snack whenever I'm home. I'm trying to make a lifestyle change, the cliche trying to 'get healthier' and be healthier.  I'm not looking so much for weight loss, even though that's an added plus, but what I really want is to finally tone up.  My entire life I've always killed myself with cardio and would wonder why I never looked that great.  Well now I know why, so that's my goal, get healthier and leaner.
