Ingredients
For the Crostini:
- 1 full size baguette sliced into 1/4 inch slices
- 3 TB butter melted
- 1 TB olive oil
For the Toppings:
- 2 whole apples cut into 1/4" slices
- Fresh lemon juice for sprinkling over apples
- 8 oz brie wheel, cut into 1/4" slices
- 3 oz prosciutto
- ½ cup pecans roasted, salted
- ⅓ cup honey
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F, with rack on upper middle position. Line a large baking sheet with foil. Place baguette slices in a single layer on baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, combine melted butter with olive oil. Use a pastry brush to brush butter mixture evenly on both sides each baguette slice. Bake 8-10 minutes or until slices become golden and crispy. If needed, flip crostini over to allow crisping on the bottom side for a few minutes.
- Meanwhile, slice apples into 1/4 inch slivers and sprinkle with fresh lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Place a slice of brie over crostini, followed by apple slices. Gently slice each prosciutto piece in half and place over the apple slices. Top each crostini with a few pecans. Drizzle with honey and serve.
