Let’s welcome September with this super easy and seasonal appetizer. Honestly, there’s no end to what you can put on top of a crispy piece of bread and call it crostini. This combination of Apple and Brie Crostini worked perfectly and are the perfect bite for early fall. It’s a simple, tasty and fall inspired appetizer that you’ll love. I also have a recipe for a Roasted Squash and Apple Bruschetta that’s a level up with a bit more work but amazing!

Ingredients

• Baguette – You can level this up using a Homemade Baguette or store bought like I did here!
• Olive oil – Extra virgin olive oil is drizzled over the bread before toasting in the oven.
• Brie cheese – This is a common French cheese that you will find in most supermarkets in the chiller section. It’s a soft mild flavoured cheese with a rind.
• Apples – Make sure to use a sharp apple. Apples like Fuji, Pink Lady and Honeycrisp will all work really well.
• Arugula – – This is a peppery leaf that adds colour, texture and an earthy flavour to the crostini.
• Honey – A drizzle of liquid honey adds a little touch of sweetness!

NOTE, The full recipe and ingredient list can be found at the end of the post in the recipe card.

Instructions

1. Toast bread – Preheat oven to 350 degrees F/180 degrees C. Lay the baguette slices on a large baking tray and drizzle with the two tablespoons of olive oil. Bake in the oven for about 8 – 10 minutes or until crisp. Remove from oven and set aside.
2. Assemble – Lay the bread slices on a serving platter and top with brie cheese. Next lay one or two slices of apples on top of the brie cheese. Drizzle with honey and top with an arugula leaf.
3. Serve – Serve immediately as soon as they have been assembled.

Recipe Tips

• Crisping the bread – I like to do this in the oven just before serving. You can do it in a skillet on the stove over medium heat. Be careful not to burn them as you are crisping them up!
• Prepping the apples – Leave the skin on the apples for texture and colour. Slice them thin! If you would like to do them in advance, just squeeze over a little lemon juice to prevent them from going brown.

Substitutions

• Baguette bread – Alternatively, you can use any kind of rustic bread. Or you can even be extra fancy and make your own from my Baguette Bread recipe!
• Brie cheese – A few great alternatives to Brie cheese would be goat cheese, Camembert cheese or fresh Mozzarella.
• Apples – For a different flavour you could go with pears.
• Honey – Alternatively use balsamic glaze, it works great.
