    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.

      I love crostini and brischetta for being delicious and easy to make. Besides, they could be pretty fancy appetizers, and you've just demonstrated it in this post. Beautiful combo, Marissa!

      You 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 🙂

        I'm the same way - a plate of crostini and a glass of wine and I'm a happy girl. 🙂

      I 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 🙂

      Crostini 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! 🙂

        Hi Sonali! We did have a nice Thanksgiving, hope you enjoyed yours too! 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. You look so comfortable when you've appeared on TV etc., you're an inspiration!
