Apple, Ham and Havarti Gallette - Delicious Fall Appetizer #CIC

With only 5-10 minutes of prep time, this is an easy fall appetizer to make for any party. Just bake and serve.

It’s Crazy Ingredient Challenge time! This is a favorite as usual…. two ingredients voted on and chosen to use in a new creative recipe. This month, I took those ingredients and used them to make a delicious fall appetizer. What are those ingredients you ask? Well keep on reading and find a yummy recipe using these two unique ingredients.

This month’s Crazy Ingredient Challenge ingredients were Apples and Rosemary. Say what???

My first thought was muffins. I think chopped apples in muffins are incredible and my mind was wondering how to put this all together. But, after checking the fridge for what I had, I decided I needed to use some ham. So muffins went out the window.

This challenge was inspired by a sandwich I had once. It had rosemary bread, green apples, ham and brie. Well, hubby hates brie so if I wanted to eat some of it, I had to find another option. Enter Havarti cheese. It’s nice and creamy when it melts and most importantly, it’s not brie. So I ran with it.

This one starts with refrigerated pie crust. They come in a two-pack in the grocery store so after you make one, you’ll have another crust to make a second. It’s good to have on hand anyway!

To start, gently roll it out on a sheet of parchment on a baking sheet. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Chop up 4-5 slices of deli ham lunch meat into bite sized pieces and lay it in the center. Leave plenty of space around it. Then, chop up 3-4 ounces of brie (or Havarti if you hate brie). Lay the cheese over the ham.

Next, peel and chop one large apple. Place that over the ham and cheese. Then, wrap the edges over the apples, leaving a little exposed in the center.
