Melt the butter in a large sauté pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the apples and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 6 minutes, or until the apples are somewhat tender. Stir in the currants, brown sugar, Nord Spices, salt, and vanilla.
In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and water, then add to the pan with the apples. Cook another minute or so, until the whole mixture has thickened somewhat. Spoon into serving dishes and top with crumbled blue cheese to taste.
