Name: Apple-Nut Blue Cheese Tartlets
Prep time: 25 min
Cook time: 10 min
Total time: 35 min
Yield: 15 appetizers.
Ingredients: 1 large apple, peeled and finely chopped; 1 medium onion, finely chopped; 2 teaspoons butter; 1 cup (4 ounces) crumbled blue cheese; 4 tablespoons finely chopped walnuts, toasted, divided; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1 package (1.9 ounces) frozen miniature phyllo tart shells

These tasty appetizers look and taste gourmet, but they're easy to make and have loads of blue cheese flavor. The phyllo shells and filling can be made in advance—just fill the cups and warm them in the oven before serving. —Trisha Kruse, Eagle, Idaho

I haven't made these yet, but will save and perhaps try for Christmas. When recipe's call for "1 apple" or "1 onion", why is the amount not given? Is it one cup of apples, one cup of onions or 1/2 cup???? Everyone's idea of "large or medium" differs. It would be a big help to have the measured amounts.
