We’re thrilled to share our collection of 21 delectable apple appetizer recipes with you. These mouthwatering creations will inspire you to think beyond the classic pie or crumble and explore the full potential of this versatile fruit. Our love for apples was rekindled when our neighbors brought us a bounty from Michigan, adding to our existing stockpile. This abundance sparked a desire to experiment and find new ways to enjoy our favorite fruit.
From savory prosciutto-wrapped apples with brie and balsamic vinegar to sweet and tangy two-ingredient apple pizzas, these recipes showcase the incredible range of possibilities. Whether you’re looking for a quick snack or an impressive appetizer, we’ve got you covered. So, go ahead and indulge in the nostalgia of warm, crumbly pies and turnovers, but don’t be afraid to think outside the box and discover new flavors and textures.
Prosciutto Wrapped Apples With Brie And Balsamic Vinegar
Imagine a culinary symphony where the sweetness of sliced apples harmonizes with the creaminess of brie cheese and the freshness of basil. The beauty lies in the combination of flavors and textures as you layer these ingredients, finishing it off with crispy prosciutto that adds a satisfying crunch. To express your gratitude for this delightful experience, write a heartfelt note that’s as vibrant as the dish itself.
Savory Apple Appetizers With Cream Cheese
The marriage of apples, cream cheese, chives and pecans is a match made in heaven. This unlikely combination produces an outcome that surpasses the individual components. The key to this culinary success lies in the art of applying cream cheese to fruit – a move often overlooked yet richly rewarding.
Apple Goat Cheese Crostini Appetizer
In this innovative raw apple appetizer recipe, the quality of the fruit is paramount. The ideal apples are firm and crisp, yet retain just the right amount of give to prevent them from becoming mushy in the mouth. To create a harmonious balance of flavors, it’s essential to use an aged, pungent goat cheese – milder, softer varieties simply don’t possess the same level of tempering ability.
The perfect accompaniment to these sweet and tangy apples is a generous dusting of black pepper, which adds a satisfying crunch and depth of flavor when served.
Apple Chutney Bruschetta
When it comes to this no-fuss apple recipe, simplicity is key – just use high-quality olive oil and a coarse-textured bread like Pugliese or sourdough for a perfect start. While Ciabatta will do in a pinch, don’t be tempted to sacrifice quality for convenience. The difference is stark: using the right bread can elevate this dish from a bland snack into an enticing appetizer that’s sure to impress.
Brie Honey And Apple Crostini With Tasty Toppings
Indulge in these delectable crostini and you’ll discover an abundance of reasons to be thankful. The harmonious union of creamy brie, sweet honey, and crisp apples creates a delightful twist on traditional bruschetta, elevating it from mere hors d’oeuvre to a truly exceptional culinary experience.
Cranberry Chicken Salad On Apple Slices
While you may not fully appreciate the unique characteristics of a single, uncooked cranberry, their flavor and texture truly shine when incorporated into a dish like sweet and creamy chicken salad. As the tartness of the cranberries mingles with the savory notes of the chicken and the richness of the cream, they add a delightful burst of flavor that’s perfect for the holiday season.
Apple Cranberry Brie Bites
These refreshing cold appetizers are elevated by the perfect balance of sweet and tangy flavors courtesy of cranberries. A picnic, potluck or brunch spread isn’t complete without them. For a sophisticated touch, consider serving alongside a cranberry-infused beverage – we recommend a crisp cranberry vodka for a delightful pairing.
Savoury Apple Appetizers
We’re self-proclaimed snacking aficionados, always on the lookout for our next fix.

Unleash your inner child with a delectable treat that will transport you back to a simpler time. Sweet apples lightly battered in brown sugar are paired with an indulgent caramel sauce that’s sure to satisfy even the most discerning palate.

It’s a sensory experience that embodies the cozy essence of autumn.
Apple Cinnamon Bacon Bites
We’re guilty of indulging in the same old snacking habits – chips, dips, and chocolate galore. However, when the evening winds down and we reach for the wine, our usual go-to’s fail to deliver. Enter our newfound obsession with smoky bacon and apple bites. These bite-sized morsels have become our savior on a Saturday night, offering a satisfying way to use up leftover pork. And the best part?
They’re just as enjoyable on their own as they are paired with a side salad for those who prefer a more well-rounded snack.

A satisfying meal that’s as easy to make as it is to enjoy.

We’ve once again managed to put our own twist on Italian cuisine, and we’re not surprised that our latest creation will likely face the ire of disgruntled commenters. However, we’ll go out with a flourish, just like we’ve always lived: with a satisfied belly and a sweet, sticky sauce lingering on our chins. Our latest culinary experiment may not be traditional lasagna, but it’s certainly an indulgent and flavorful tray bake that’s sure to satisfy even the most discerning palates.
Cheesy Apple Bites
These bite-sized snacks are unlikely to spark controversy, unless you’re serving them at a table with someone who dislikes pungent cheese. The recipe is adaptable, so feel free to modify it to suit your taste preferences! This easy-to-make snack is perfect for using up any leftover ingredients languishing in your pantry. The addition of green olives brings a delightful salty and bitter flavor profile, but you could also substitute with salt if you prefer. Either way, the dish remains unaffected.

While opinions about beetroot vary wildly, with some people claiming it tastes like dirt and others savoring its earthy flavor, we’re ambivalent. On one hand, beets’ distinctive taste can be a bit… earthy, shall we say. On the other hand, many of us may not know how to bring out their natural sweetness.
