Description

A delightful appetizer featuring toasted baguette slices topped with creamy ricotta, warm sautéed apples, and a drizzle of rosemary-infused honey, finished with crunchy pecans.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch thick pieces
  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary
  • 1/2 cup pecans, roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet, brush with olive oil, and toast for 8-10 minutes until golden and crisp.
  2. In a small saucepan, warm the honey and rosemary over low heat for 5 minutes to infuse. Remove rosemary sprig and set honey aside.
  3. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add apple slices and a pinch of salt, sautéing for 5-7 minutes until tender and lightly caramelized.
  4. Spread a generous layer of ricotta on each toasted baguette slice. Top with warm sautéed apples.
  5. Drizzle each crostini with rosemary honey and sprinkle with chopped pecans. Serve immediately.
