because the Apple Menu is kind of an odd menu, programatically, but
maybe my syntax is off? Or is there a better way to do this?
try
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Finder"
tell menu bar 1
tell menu bar item "Apple"
tell menu "Apple"
tell menu bar item "Recent Items"
tell menu "Recent Items"
click menu item "Clear Menu"
end tell

Very close, Jeff. Try replacing:
tell menu bar item "Recent Items"
with:
--------
tell menu item "Recent Items"
--------
The click also seems to register faster/more effectively when the
target process is frontmost:
--------
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Finder"
set frontmost to true
click menu item "Clear Menu" of menu "Recent Items" of ¬
menu item "Recent Items" of menu "Apple" of ¬
menu bar item "Apple" of menu bar 1
end tell
--------
