Apple Crostini with Fig Jam and Pecorino are a party pleasing appetizer! With just a few simple ingredients you can find at your local grocery store, you’ll have these made and served in minutes.
Just slather fig jam onto crisp crostini then stack high with thin apple slices and delicate shavings of pecorino cheese and serve. So easy and so good!
For parties, I love to offer a variety of crostini. With a typical baguette you can make 24 crostini, so why not make a variety? Click here for a whole collection of crostini recipes.

November 27, 2017 at 8:29 amYou know I can make a meal out of just crostini and you’ve been hitting it out of the park with all your delicious versions lately, Marissa! And, lucky me, I have all these ingredients on hand 🙂
Marissa says

November 27, 2017 at 6:56 amI have a menu as long as my arm for Christmas dinner and I just added these crostini. They sound delicious! And I always love to serve crostini before dinner since they’re so easy to make. And since that means I get to eat extra bread 🙂

November 28, 2017 at 10:02 amGreat visual of your Christmas dinner menu – sounds like a feast! And extra bread FTW! 😉

November 27, 2017 at 5:57 amCrostini really are perfect for holiday entertaining! In fact, I love just doing appetizers-for-dinner during the holidays. Pour a nice glass of wine and serve up a tray of these crostini, and that sounds like a perfect night to me. I love the flavor combo here, too! Fig jam is totally underappreciated! 🙂
Marissa says
November 28, 2017 at 10:02 amI like how you think, David! And totally agree about fig jam…

I agree about crostini for a crowd, it covers all the bases: delicious, affordable and easy. 🙂 Thanks so much for your kind words and support – a little nerve wracking to be on the other side of the camera.
