Ingredients
  

For the Crostini Base
  • 1 loaf Baguette Swap for gluten-free bread if needed.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Adds richness and helps the baguette toast evenly.
For the Topping
  • 1 cup Fresh Cranberries Bursts with tart flavor; dried cranberries can be used as a shortcut.
  • 2 tablespoons Honey or Maple Syrup Adjust to taste for sweetness.
  • 8 ounces Brie Cheese Feel free to swap in Camembert or goat cheese.
  • 1 medium Apple Opt for sturdy varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper
  • Fresh Thyme or Rosemary Optional for garnish.

Equipment

  • oven
  • baking sheet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the baguette into ½-inch thick pieces and arrange them on a baking sheet. Brush each slice with olive oil and bake for 8-10 minutes until golden and crispy.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, add fresh cranberries and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they soften. Stir in honey or maple syrup, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until syrupy. Remove from heat.
  3. Top each toasted baguette slice with a slice of Brie cheese and bake for an additional 3-4 minutes until soft and melty.
  4. Once out of the oven, add fresh apple slices and a spoonful of cranberry mixture on top. Sprinkle salt and pepper, and garnish with thyme or rosemary if desired.
  5. Serve warm on a platter and enjoy!
