Creamy Blue Cheese & Sliced Apple Crostini

Welcome back to #AppleWeek 2018! Hope you’ve been enjoying the fantastic array of apple recipes featured during this event. I’ve definitely found a few that I can’t wait to try for myself.

 

If you happened to miss my other recipes in #AppleWeek, you’ll find them all listed below: 

• Dutch Apple Cobbler with Cheesecake Topping
• Glazed Chocolate Chip Apple Cake
• Crumbly Apple Cranberry Casserole

Also, don’t forget to scroll all the way down so you can browse more apple recipes from fellow bloggers. I’m sure you’ll find a bunch of great recipes to try the fall.

 

 

My second addition to #AppleWeek is an amazing appetizer: Creamy Blue Cheese & Sliced Apple Crostini. This is a simple party food (or Friday night at home with a glass of wine) that’s popping with amazing flavors.

It begins with a crusty crostini topped with a blue cheese spread. Adorning the blue cheese layer you’ll find thin slices of Envy apples and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. DELISH!

 

 

This is the type of appetizer that not only will WOW but will make the taste buds happy. Your guests will be oh so impressed and you’ll be proud of yourself for whipping up something delicious and easy to make.

Bottom line if you want to impress your friends and family without breaking a sweat…make these! They will dazzle without much effort!

Envy apples are the perfect addition to this appetizer with a satisfying crunch. Envy apples were born in New Zealand using natural plant-breeding methods, crossing a Braeburn with a Royal Gala apple…they are amazing.
