Ingredients:  
1 cup pecans
1 large head romaine lettuce
3/4 cup evoo
1/3 cup plus 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (see if you can get a good brand like Maille)
3 tsp liquid honey
1 1/4 to 1 1/2 tsp salt, try with smaller amount then decide
10 grindings black pepper
small block extra old white cheddar, I use Balderson aged 2 years, shaved with cheese slicer or carrot peeler. I use about two slices per person.
3 red apples such as Cortland, Braeburn or Spartan
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp granulated sugar
Directions:
Directions:
1. Spread pecans in a single layer on toaster oven baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in preheated 350ºF toaster oven 8 to 10 minutes or until very fragrant; cool. Watch that they don't burn. Meanwhile, tear lettuce into bite-size pieces; there should be 8 to 10 cups.

2. Whisk oil with vinegar, honey, salt and pepper and set aside.

3. Shave cheese and set aside.

4. When ready to serve, core and slice 2 unpeeled apples into wedges about 1/4" thick. Heat butter in a large nonstick frypan or cast iron frypan over medium heat. When hot and bubbly, add apple slices. Stirring frequently, sauté for 2 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high; sprinkle apples with sugar. Turning frequently, sauté apples another 2 to 3 minutes or until slightly golden.

5. Place romaine in large salad bowl; toss with at least half of the dressing and decide if you are using more. Core and slice remaining raw unpeeled apple for garnish. Add hot apples and pecans to lettuce; toss. Serve immediately garnishing each serving with raw apple slices and cheese shavings.

Wonderful. I made this for brunch when you asked your friends to be your bridesmaids(as well as other times). If you don't want to have raw and cooked apples, you can just cook them all and omit the last step. Serves 6-8.
