Description
A fresh, crusty baguette is sliced and split then spread with a creamy coat of butter and a sprinkle of sea salt flakes. Stuffed inside, smooth and rich hunks of buttery brie are shingled alongside tart apple slices. Crunchy walnuts and a thick drizzle of sweet honey finish the Apple Brie Baguette Sandwiches in elegance.
Ingredients
1 good quality, crusty baguette
8 ounces California Brie cheese
1 large Granny Smith apples or preferred varietal
1/2 cup raw walnuts
1/4 cup California butter at room temperature, preferably European style
4 tablespoons honey or apricot, fig, berry preserves
Sea salt flakes, to taste
Instructions
Prep
Divide the baguette into 4 equal lengths, about 6 inches each. Then split each in half, lengthwise.
Slice the brie cheese into 1/2" thick slices or wedges.
Core and slice thinly slice the apples.
Assembly
Spread about 1 tablespoon of butter onto each open baguette, sprinkle with sea salt flakes. If adding mustard or preservers, add the butter to the top layer of baguette and mustard or preserves to the bottom.
Layer the sliced apples and brie slices across the bottom baguette in a shingled pattern, alternating between apples and brie, covering the bottom layer of baguette.
Sprinkle the walnuts over the top of the apples and brie, then drizzle with honey. Wrap and save for later or serve right away.
