Description

These Brie, Apple, and Honey Crostini offer a delightful blend of creamy cheese, sweet apple butter, fresh apple slices, and crunchy candied pecans, all drizzled with honey on toasted baguette slices. Perfect as an elegant appetizer or a sophisticated snack, this easy recipe combines fresh and sweet flavors with a melty, warm texture in under 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale

Bread

  • 1 baguette, cut into ½-inch slices

Spreads and Cheese

  • 1 jar apple butter (about 1–2 teaspoons per slice)
  • 6 ounces brie, sliced thin (Murray’s brie recommended)

Fruit and Nuts

  • 2 large apples, thinly sliced
  • Squeeze of fresh lemon juice
  • ½ cup candied pecans, chopped

Finishing

  • Honey, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Baguette: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread about 1–2 teaspoons of apple butter on one side of each sliced baguette piece and arrange them evenly on a large baking sheet to get ready for baking.
  2. Add Brie and Bake: Place a thin slice of brie on top of each apple butter–spread baguette slice. Bake the slices in the preheated oven for 5 to 7 minutes, until the brie is melted and bubbly.
  3. Prepare the Apples: While the crostini bake, thinly slice the apples and remove their cores. Immediately squeeze fresh lemon juice over the apple slices to prevent browning and keep them fresh for assembly.
  4. Assemble the Crostini: Once the crostini are melted and golden, remove them from the oven. Top each with a slice or two of the prepared apples, sprinkle the chopped candied pecans evenly over the crostini, then finish with a generous drizzle of honey for sweetness and a glossy finish.
  5. Serve: Serve the crostini immediately while warm to enjoy the perfect balance of flavors and textures—the creamy brie, sweet honey, tart apples, and crunchy pecans.

Notes

  • Use fresh lemon juice on apple slices to avoid browning and maintain a vibrant look.
  • Thinly slicing the brie helps it melt evenly and quickly in the oven.
  • Feel free to substitute candied pecans with walnuts or almonds for variation.
  • This recipe is best enjoyed warm; leftover crostini can be briefly reheated but are not ideal for long storage.
  • For a savory twist, add a pinch of black pepper or fresh thyme before baking.
