Here’s a Hasselback Apple & Brie Charcuterie Bake recipe—sweet, savory, melty, and perfect as an appetizer or party snack. Think apples, brie, and cured meats all baked together in a beautiful presentation.
🍏🧀 Hasselback Apple & Brie Charcuterie Bake
Ingredients
- 2–3 medium apples (Honeycrisp or Gala work best)
- 8 oz brie cheese, sliced or in a small wheel
- 4–6 slices prosciutto, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (optional)
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- 1–2 tbsp butter or olive oil, melted
- Optional: crackers, baguette slices, or nuts for serving
Instructions
- Preheat Oven
- Preheat to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly grease a baking dish.
- Prep Apples
- Slice apples thinly Hasselback-style (about ⅛ inch apart), keeping the base intact so the slices stay together.
- Place in the baking dish and drizzle with melted butter.
- Add Brie & Prosciutto
- Slide slices of brie between some of the apple slices.
- Fold or drape prosciutto around the apples or tuck between slices.
- Season & Sweeten
- Drizzle with honey.
- Sprinkle fresh thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Bake
- Bake 20–25 minutes, until apples are tender and brie is melted.
- Optional: broil 1–2 minutes at the end for a golden top.
- Serve
- Serve warm with crackers, sliced baguette, or toasted nuts.
- Drizzle extra honey if desired.
Tips & Variations
- Cheese swap: Camembert or fontina works well instead of brie.
- Savory twist: Add caramelized onions between apple slices.
- Fruit variation: Pears or figs also work beautifully.
- Gluten-free: Serve on cucumber rounds or gluten-free crackers.
- Charcuterie board upgrade: Surround the baked apples with olives, nuts, and cured meats for a full board.
If you want, I can make a “sheet-pan version” where you bake multiple Hasselback apples with brie and prosciutto at once for a party-ready presentation.
Do you want me to do that?
