Burger:

- Cook the burgers on a grill until medium well or 150 degrees F. Set aside to rest while you make the caramelized apples.
Apples:
- Take the thinly sliced apples and put in a hot pan with some melted butter and oil.
- Add the chopped cherries, juice and zest of half an orange. Add the cinnamon, coriander, cloves and brown sugar.

Plating:
