ENDIVE BOATS WITH APPLE, BLUE CHEESE, AND HAZELNUTS

Endive Boats with Apple, Blue Cheese, and Hazelnuts image

I got this recipe from my friend Heather who served it at her New Year's party a few years ago and I have made it many, many times since. This recipe makes enough for 2 large platters so it's perfect when entertaining a crowd.
