Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 °F (180 °C).
Cut the Canadian St-Damase cheese into 4 equal portions. Cut apples in half and remove core. Sprinkle apples with lemon juice so they don't turn brown. Spread each one with a knob of butter.
Place the bread slices in a buttered ovenproof dish, then top with apple halves. Bake for 15 minutes.
Remove dish from oven and top each apple half with a piece of Canadian St-Damase cheese. Sprinkle with rosemary. As soon as the cheese has melted, serve warm with croutons.

Tips
Instead of Golden Delicious apples, choose strong-skinned apples so that they do not collapse when baked.
* Instead of Canadian St-Damase, try this recipe with Canadian Empereur or St-Pierre de Saurel.
