Instructions

Place the crostini in a single-layer on a sheet pan. Top each crostini with 2-3 apple slices followed by 1 slice of brie.

Sprinkle each slice of brie with about 1/2 teaspoon of sugar – try your best not to sprinkle the sugar on the apples. Using a kitchen torch, brûlée the sugar until it's evenly caramelized and golden-brown.

Sprinkle the crostini with the pecans and fresh thyme. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Choose Firm Apples for Perfect Brûlée 🍎
Use Honeycrisp or Granny Smith apples that are slightly underripe; they hold their shape during brûléing and won't turn mushy when the sugar caramelizes.
Room Temperature Brie Spreads Evenly ✨
Remove brie from the refrigerator 5 minutes before assembling so it softens slightly and spreads smoothly onto the crostini without tearing.
Torch Your Sugar for Restaurant-Quality Results 🔥
Use a kitchen torch to brûlée the sugar topping rather than a broiler for precise caramelization and a perfectly crispy shell that won't soften the crostini.
Toast Pecans Separately for Maximum Crunch 🥜
Lightly toast your pecans in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before adding them; this intensifies their flavor and ensures they stay crispy rather than becoming soft from the warm brie.
Add Fresh Thyme at the Very End 🌿
Sprinkle thyme leaves after brûléing and assembly to preserve their delicate aromatics; adding them earlier causes them to wilt and lose their bright, fresh character.
