Ingredients
  

4 slices of ciabatta bread or sourdough bread

1 medium-sized apple (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith recommended)

6 oz Brie cheese, rind removed and sliced into ¼-inch pieces

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

A pinch of sea salt

Fresh arugula or spinach for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Apple: Core the apple and thinly slice it into wedges, approximately 1/8-inch thick. Keeping the skin on adds a nice crunch and vibrant color to the dish.

      Create the Mixture: In a small mixing bowl, combine the honey, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir until well blended. Gently toss the apple slices in this mixture until they are fully coated and set aside.

        Assemble the Melts:

          - Arrange the slices of ciabatta or sourdough bread on the prepared baking sheet.

            - Evenly spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice to enhance the flavor and create a golden toast.

              - Turn the slices over so the buttered side is down. On each unbuttered side, layer the sliced Brie cheese generously, followed by a thoughtful arrangement of the spiced apple slices on top.

                Bake the Melts: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes, checking occasionally, until the Brie is melted and bubbly while the bread turns golden brown and toasty.

                  Serve: Once baked, remove the melts from the oven. If desired, add a handful of fresh arugula or spinach on top of each warm melt for a pop of color and freshness. For an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle a little more honey over the top before serving.

                    Enjoy: Serve these delectable warm apple and Brie melts straight out of the oven, perfect as a delightful appetizer or a light lunch option.
