Serve the ultimate appetizer with these Apple Brie Crostini with Walnuts, Honey, & Thyme. Apple and brie are a tried and true combination that works so well on crostini. I love to add in crunchy walnuts and sweet honey as well as an herb like thyme to make this a textured and delicious bite.
🌟 Why You’ll Love This Recipe
This crostini has it all! Crispness from the apple, creaminess from the brie, nuttiness from the walnut, sweetness from the honey, and earthiness from the thyme. Plus, it pairs perfectly with rosé. It’s extra special with this saffron cardamom infused honey.
It is a great, easy recipe for serving to dinner guests, or just for your family if you want to add some excitement to dinner, they’re small and easy to eat as finger food.
How to Make Apple Brie Crostini
Preheat the oven to 375°F to prepare to make the crostini.
Place 1/4-1/2 inch thick baguette slices on a sheet pan. Brush both sides of each slice lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake 12-15 minutes until golden, flipping halfway through. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature.
Top each crostini with one thin slice of brie, 2 thin slices of apple, then 2-3 pieces of walnut, drizzle with honey, and top with a small sprig of lemon thyme. Serve within an hour.
Storing Your Crostini
If you’re planning to make them ahead of time, you can make them up to one week in advance. Store them in a sealed container at room temperature.
You can also freeze crostinit. Make sure to remove all the air from the bag and remove them from the freezer 1 hour before serving.
