Ingredients
- 100 grams Blue cheese
- 1 Apple (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 16 Crackers (round or rectangular, your choice)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 3 tablespoons Chopped walnuts or pecans
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
1. Prepare the apple by washing and drying it thoroughly. Slice the apple into thin, even wedges or rounds (about 1/8-inch thick). Discard the seeds and core.
Step 2
2. Arrange the crackers in a single layer on a serving platter or tray.
Step 3
3. Place a small piece of blue cheese (about 1 teaspoon) on each cracker. Gently press it down to slightly adhere to the cracker.
Step 4
4. Lay one slice of apple onto each blue cheese-topped cracker. If necessary, cut the apple slice to fit the cracker.
Step 5
5. Drizzle a small amount of honey over the apple and blue cheese on each canape. Aim for about 1/4 teaspoon of honey per cracker.
Step 6
6. Sprinkle a few chopped walnuts or pecans on top, ensuring each canape gets a bit for extra crunch and flavor.
Step 7
7. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh thyme leaves for a touch of herbal aroma.
Step 8
8. Serve immediately, or store in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap for up to an hour before serving.
