For the crostini
  • 1 baguette (12 oz) baguette cut into 24 slices about 1/2 inch thick
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.25 tsp kosher salt
  • 8 oz Brie rind left on, cut into 24 pieces
For the apple topping
  • 1 apple medium, cored and thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 0.5 tsp thyme leaves fresh
  • 2 tbsp honey

Equipment

  • 1 18x13-inch rimmed baking sheet

Method
 

Toast and top the crostini
  1. Heat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Arrange the baguette slices in a single layer on an 18x13-inch rimmed baking sheet, brush both sides with olive oil, and sprinkle with the salt.
  3. Bake for 4 minutes, then flip the slices.
  4. Bake for 3 to 5 minutes more, until lightly golden.
  5. Place a piece of Brie on each slice and bake for 2 to 3 minutes, until the Brie is softened.
Prepare and finish the topping
  1. While the crostini bake, toss the apple slices with the lemon juice and thyme.
  2. Top each warm crostini with apple.
  3. Drizzle with honey and serve.

Notes

For the best texture, add the apple and honey just before serving. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 2 days; freezing is not recommended. Use a gluten-free baguette for a gluten-free option.
