Roasted Apple and Brie Bruschetta.
Please update your google readers! http://feeds.feedburner.com/howsweeteats/smSp
I managed to save some crusty bread from my fondue fest Saturday night, and I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it.
Truly, I wanted to smother half in peanut butter and dip the other half in gravy, but I am the queen of restraint.
I am so great at restraining myself, that I limited myself to one serving of buffalo wing kettle chips last night. Actually, my husband and I split one serving.
He would like you to know that there are not 8 servings in those family-size bags. There is one serving. And we split it. In 30 minutes.
I gave the bread a light brushing of olive oil and set it in the oven to toast.
I’ve never really been a ‘bread person’, and I prefer nutty, grainier breads most of the time. However, if there is a thick slice of crusty bread toasted with olive oil? Count me in.
And let me just point something out: thank goodness I do not like bread products that much. I would be 17,000 pounds. Which would be terrible, because I doubt any of my shoes would fit me then.
I sprinkled the apple slices with a bit of sugar and cinnamon, and let them carmelize in the oven.

These were fantastic. Also fabulous in oatmeal and pancakes.
I snuck multiple chunks of brie before assembling the toasts, but what else is new?
Brie is just so creamy and perfect and delightful. It truly melts in your mouth.
Once the apples were roasted, I topped the golden toasts with the brie chunks. The apples went on next.
I left the skin on the apples because I just love the color. Staying true to my inner 5-yearold self, anything sparkly, glittery or pink catches my eye.
I can be mid-conversation, at a significant event, or driving down a busy road. It’s dangerous. Don’t wear a sparkly shirt or glitter eyeshadow in my presence.
Crispy, cheesy and sweet. That is my kind of meal!
Roasted Apple and Brie Bruschetta
1 loaf french bread, cut into slices
1/4 cup olive oil
3-4 oz brie cheese, cut into slices/chunks
2 apples, sliced
1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 tablespoon sugar
Preheat oven to 425. Brush bread with olive oil and toast until golden brown.
Laybe apple slices in a baking dish. Cover with cinnamon and sugar and roast at 425 for 15-20 minutes.
Add a slice (or 2!) or brie to each toast, and top with 2-3 apple slices.
This is sure to be a party pleaser, but can also be a mid afternoon snack for you. Grab some whole grain bread and go to town. You can also use another cheese, and even a low-fat version.
In my opinion, I wouldn’t mess with the brie. A little bit won’t hurt ya. :)

These look great! I need to pick up some brie to make this. Last week I made some apple and cheddar quesadillas and *loved* them, so I am pretty sure this will be a new favorite, too!
Oh man…can’t WAIT to try this recipe! Brie is one of my all-time fave obsessions. I sometimes can’t read your blog in the morning b/c I get too hungry…have to do it after lunch. :)
This looks wonderful. I think I need to designate a certain lump of my monthly budget to pay for my cheese needs.
Yum!! This reminds me of the pear hors d’oeuvres we’re having for our wedding :)
I feel like you look into my head, pull out my favorite things, and make them even more amazing. These look incredible!
Yum! That looks absolutely divine!! Do you have a bit of a shoe obsession? You should come be my personal chef :] lol
That looks like perfection!
This looks so yummy!! Would you do this as an app or a dessert??
That looks so yummy and melty!
This is such a great idea! Amazing!!!
Brie + Fruit = best combination EVEH!
This sounds decadent. I have some brie, too…and some apples…and bread..hmmm :)
mmmm, you leave my mouth watering, yet again! And hurray for the fruit! I’m like you, I usually prefer the nuttier and grainier breads (much more flavor) but when they are topped with brie and apples…I’ll take any type!
These look so yummy! I love anything with apples and cinnamon :)
brie.apples.bread..together…thats all I need to hear to make my mouth water, and I just finished lunch :)
One of my FAVORITE combo’s!!!
Yumm- gimme crusty bread and some apples and I’m in!
OOOH YUM!!! I love apple or pear and brie on sandwiches. SO GOOD! :)
Looks AMAZING! I love Brie and it is totally my favorite cheese. It pairs so well with sweet fruit. I make Brie en Croute over the holidays and put apricot jam inside. melty heaven :)

Great recipe!

Amanda
Beautiful pics!!!
That looks amazing, but more than that (no offense!) Buffalo Wing Kettle chips sound like heaven in a bag. How have a never tried these before?!
MMMMMMMmmmmmmmm!! I love the combo of cheese and apples!! I used to make apple and cheese quesadillas a lot. Your recipe looks so fancy and amazing!! :)
The apple and brie combo is so amazing! Your version looks great.
Yum! I can’t wait til I can eat bread again ;)
anytime there is any kind of cheese and any kind of melting u can count me in. i LOVE cheese and fruit, usually watermellon or grapes for me, but apples are just as yummy
This sounds like the perfect thing for a weekend wine party or just good excuse to eat some brie! Looks like another simple, yet tasty creation!
I love the combination of apples with cheese … I have done it with grilled cheese, but never as a bruschetta! Cool!
this just gave me a foodgasm. oh and tomorrow is national cheese lover’s day!
What a fantastic idea! Looks absolutely yummy!
What I love about brie is that it’s so decadent you don’t need to eat a lot to feel satisfied. I’d have real brie over a low-fat version ANY day of the week!
Apple and Brie. Two of my favorite things to eat.
What a great idea!
My friends always make brie recipes, and they’re always amazing – I’ll have to try this one for them:)
Beautiful new site! And I loooove all of the headshots.
