Which apple works best for Apple Brie Crostini?

Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, Pink Lady, or another firm apple works well. Choose tart apples for stronger contrast or sweeter apples for a softer flavor.

Can Apple Brie Crostini be made ahead?

Prepare the toasted bread, cheese, and apple in advance, but bake and assemble shortly before serving so the bread stays crisp.

Can I use another cheese?

Yes. Havarti, gouda, fontina, or Swiss can work, although the flavor and melting behavior will differ from brie.

How do I keep sliced apples from browning?

Slice them close to serving time or toss them very lightly with lemon juice, then pat dry before placing them on the crostini.
