Method:
Halve and core
the unpeeled apples, then cut into 1/2-inch dice.
Heat 2
tablespoons of the oil in a medium, non-reactive frying pan over
medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté, stirring, until
translucent and brown around the edges, about 4 minutes. Add garlic
and sauté and stir 1 minute more.
Add remaining
tablespoon oil to the pan and diced apples. Sauté, stirring
frequently, until apples are translucent and lightly browned, 5 to 6
minutes. Add ginger, coriander, mustard, cinnamon, cayenne and brown
sugar, and stir until the sugar starts to melt. Add vinegar and bring
mixture to a simmer. Cook, stirring frequently, until mixture is
thick and liquids are syrupy, 10 to 12 minutes.
Remove chutney
from heat and cool. (Chutney can be prepared 1 day in advance. Cool,
cover and refrigerate; bring to room temperature before using.)
For toasts,
arrange a rack at center position and preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Whisk together olive oil and curry powder, and brush each baguette
slice on one side with this mixture. Place toasts, oiled sides up, on
a baking sheet and bake until just slightly crisp, about 6 minutes.
Spoon some
chutney on top of each toast. Using a vegetable peeler, shave thin
slices from the piece of Cheddar and garnish each toast with several
thin shavings. (Toasts can be prepared 1 hour ahead. Leave at room
temperature, uncovered.) Arrange on a serving platter.
