Monday dinner deserves a little something delicious. This Maple Apple & Brie Flatbread with Walnut Crunch brings together sweet apples, creamy Brie, and toasted walnuts on a crisp, golden crust. A finishing drizzle of Roasted Walnut Oil and Vermont Maple Balsamic makes every bite feel a little special—with very little fuss.
Start with ready-made flatbread, add a handful of ingredients, and let your oven handle the rest. It’s an easy fall dinner for two or a shareable appetizer when friends stop by.
Apples, Brie & a Little Fall Magic
Apples and Brie already make a delicious team. Add the earthy crunch of walnuts and the sweet-tart finish of maple balsamic, and you’ve got a flatbread worth making again.
Thinly sliced apples soften slightly in the oven while keeping a little bite. The Brie melts around them, the edges turn golden, and the walnuts bring just the right crunch. Fancy enough for company? Absolutely. Easy enough for Monday? That’s the idea.
The Finishing Touch: Walnut Oil & Maple Balsamic
Our Roasted Walnut Oil adds a rich, nutty finish that complements the apples and cheese. Drizzle it on after baking so its flavor can shine.
Vermont Maple Balsamic brings sweetness and tang to balance the creamy Brie. Start with a light drizzle—you want a little in each bite without overwhelming the other flavors.
Tips for a Crisp, Delicious Apple Brie Flatbread
- Choose a firm apple. Honeycrisp, Pink Lady, or Granny Smith all work well. Slice it thinly so it softens during the short baking time.
- Keep the toppings light. A single layer of apples with spaces between the Brie pieces helps the flatbread bake evenly.
- Leave the Brie rind on. It’s edible and helps the pieces hold their shape as the centers soften.
- Add walnuts near the end. They need only a few minutes in the oven to become fragrant and lightly toasted.
- Finish after baking. Add the walnut oil and maple balsamic just before serving.
Make It Dinner—or Share a Slice
Serve your apple and Brie flatbread with a simple green salad for an easy weeknight meal. For entertaining, cut it into smaller pieces and arrange them on a serving board. It makes a lovely addition to a fall appetizer spread.
A little fresh thyme adds a savory touch, while a pinch of black pepper balances the sweet apples and balsamic.
