Apples, Honey and Goat Cheese Crostini- the perfect appetizer for Rosh Hashanah, or any Fall meal! Crunchy apples, sweet honey, and tangy goat cheese.
Happy Monday! How were your weekends? Mine was fantastic! I just got back mere hours ago on a redeye from San Francisco where I was visiting my brother. We galavanted, drank wine, high-fived. It was awesome! I’ll share some photos soon. But now I’m back and it’s officially the home stretch before Rosh Hashanah. Time to freak out?

No way, Jose, as Stephanie Tanner always said. If you are hosting this year, you probably need a few appetizers to appease the masses. This Apples, Honey and Goat Cheese Crostini twist on the classic apples & honey is sweet, savory and spicy. All the things I hoped for for 5774! Yahtzee. First, drizzle baguette slices with olive oil, salt and pepper. Cook until the broiler for about 1 minute per side until brown.
Meanwhile, slice apple into thin slices.
Once the bread is ready, immediately rub on garlic.
Let cool slightly, and spread with goat cheese and sprinkle with red chili pepper flakes if desired. I desired!
Top with apple slices, pomegranate seeds, walnuts and honey.
Try not to eat them before your guests all arrive!

Your ever lovin’ Bubbe

Love these. I’m a sucker for crostini anything. These are cute. (So are the blue nails!)
Aw thanks! Me too!
Oh Amy thank you…I’d never had the chance to try goats cheese & these looked soooo good, so I decided to give them a go….goodness me I never knew how good that cheese was & these were delicious.
Awesome- glad you liked it! Goat cheese is one of my favorites!
Oh my goodness, Amy Amy Amy!!! I have seriously had my eye on this gorgeous crostini alllllll day. And every time I see it on Pinterest or in my Facebook feed I want it more. I. Love. It.
Ha thanks, Heather! I want to make them again- they are super easy too!
these look beautiful!! i love crostini and this one is so perfect for yom tov. would probably be amazing with brie, too.
Thans, Sina! Great idea with the brie!
Love crostini’s…these look amazing!
Thanks, Alison!
Holy moly. I’m not Jewish, but I’m not letting that stop me from making these things immediately. It’s like 15 of my favorite foods in one small package!
Ha that was my plan! Just pile on a bunch of stuff I like and hope it works. Success! I ate mine with some bubby. Yum!
These crostini are gorgeous. I love apples with honey.
Thanks, Kim!
Love, love, love. Just pinned. You had me at crostini, but then all the fall holiday toppings, wow.
Yayyy!
These look amazing! I really want to make them but am allergic to goat cheese. Is there any substitute that would be comparable?
They are one of my favorites for sure! Can you have other cheeses? Cream cheese would work great or even a dairy free schmear! Brie would be tasty or a boursin.
This recipe sounds absolutely delicious! I love the combination of sweet apples and creamy goat cheese. Can’t wait to try this for my next gathering—perfect for fall!
Thanks so much- it’s one of my favorites too!
