Shaved Apple, and Honey, Brie Crostini

Apple, Cheese & Honey 

In this shaved apple honey & brie crostini recipe, apples and cheese make an irresistible pair. The apple and cheese pairing is both sweet and savory. Shaved apples and creamy brie complemented with honey and walnuts make for a magical taste profile. It’s an easy-to-make and easy-to-eat appetizer perfect for the holiday entertaining season.

You can serve this shaved apple honey & brie crostini recipe at New Year’s parties, and Christmas events (even at the office holiday party). However, I love making these in the fall, particularly around Thanksgiving. You can pluck apples straight from the trees and use freshly spun honey. In central Ontario, this time is usually frost-free, which makes it ideal for clipping fresh rosemary from your garden or finding it at your local farmer’s market. And while you’re there, make sure to pick up a local brie!

Honey Harvested in Micro-Batches Raises The Bar

Micro-batch honey is a well-kept foodie secret. It’s harvested ten frames to a pail and extracted two frames at a time. My micro-batch honey allows you to experience unique flavors and aromas from different nectar sources. The bees engineer it, and each of my honey harvests is one of a kind, made up of nectar from various flowers that bees choose to visit. The honey is unfiltered and raw, preserving its exclusive flavor in its natural state.

The unique flavors and aromas really come alive in this quick and easy appetizer, it’s a proven crowd-pleaser and steals the show, during holiday season entertaining.

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and slice your baguette into 1/2 inch pieces.
• Line the baking sheet with parchment paper, and place the 1/2-inch pieces of baguette spread out over the baking sheet. Next slice the brie into thin pieces and place on top of each crostini. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes or until brie is melted.
• While the crostini is in the oven, shave the apple using the mandoline, into thin slices. Next squeeze some of the lemon juice over the apple slices to keep them from browning.

Drizzle the honey over each crostini and sprinkle with chopped walnuts evenly over the crostini. Finally, if desired, add a very small piece of the rosemary to each crostini immediately.
