Apple Brie Baguette Sandwiches combine the crisp, tart flavor of thinly sliced Granny Smith apples with creamy California Brie, crunchy raw walnuts, and a touch of honey, all layered on a crusty baguette spread with rich European-style butter. This simple yet elegant sandwich is perfect for a gourmet snack or light lunch.

Ingredients

Scale

Bread

  • 1 good quality, crusty baguette

Cheese

  • 8 ounces California Brie cheese

Fruit

  • 1 large Granny Smith apple (or preferred varietal)

Nuts

  • 1/2 cup raw walnuts

Spread and Toppings

  • 1/4 cup California butter at room temperature, preferably European style
  • 4 tablespoons honey or apricot, fig, or berry preserves
  • Sea salt flakes, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep the Baguette: Divide the baguette into 4 equal lengths, about 6 inches each. Then split each piece in half lengthwise to create sandwich halves.
  2. Slice the Brie: Cut the Bries into 1/2-inch thick slices or wedges, ensuring even thickness for balanced flavor and texture.
  3. Prepare the Apples: Core and thinly slice the Granny Smith apple to achieve crisp, delicate slices for layering.
  4. Butter and Season: Spread about 1 tablespoon of room-temperature butter onto each open baguette half. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt flakes. If using mustard or preserves instead of honey, apply butter to the top baguette layer and mustard or preserves to the bottom.
  5. Layer Ingredients: Arrange the apple slices and Brie in a shingled pattern along the bottom half of the baguette, alternating between apple and cheese slices to cover the surface evenly.
  6. Add Walnuts and Honey: Sprinkle the raw walnuts over the layered apples and Brie, then drizzle with honey or your chosen preserves to add sweetness and texture.
  7. Serve or Store: Wrap each sandwich or serve immediately. These sandwiches are perfect for enjoying fresh or preparing ahead if well wrapped.

Notes

  • You can substitute Granny Smith apples for any tart and firm apple variety to suit your taste.
  • European-style butter is recommended for its richer flavor and creaminess.
  • For variation, try adding a spread of Dijon mustard under the butter for a savory twist.
  • These sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh for the crispness of the apples and texture of the walnuts.
  • To make it vegetarian, ensure the Brie cheese is made with microbial rennet instead of animal rennet.
