Ingredients

Scale

Sandwich Base

  • 1 good quality, crusty baguette

Cheese

  • 8 ounces California Brie cheese

Fruit

  • 1 large Granny Smith apple (or preferred varietal)

Nuts and Spreads

  • 1/2 cup raw walnuts
  • 1/4 cup California butter at room temperature, preferably European style
  • 4 tablespoons honey or apricot, fig, berry preserves

Seasoning

  • Sea salt flakes, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep: Begin by dividing the crusty baguette into 4 equal lengths, each about 6 inches long. Then carefully split each segment in half lengthwise, creating open sandwich bases.
  2. Slice the Brie: Cut the 8 ounces of California Brie cheese into 1/2 inch thick slices or wedges to ensure creamy texture in every bite.
  3. Prepare the Apples: Core the Granny Smith apple and thinly slice it to provide a crisp, tart contrast to the rich Brie.
  4. Butter and Season: Spread about 1 tablespoon of room-temperature California butter onto each open baguette half. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt flakes to enhance the flavors. If you choose to add mustard or preserves, add butter to the top baguette layer and the mustard or preserves to the bottom layer.
  5. Assemble the Sandwich: Layer the sliced apples and Brie over the bottom half of each baguette segment in a shingled pattern, alternating apple slices with Brie wedges for a beautiful presentation.
  6. Add Nuts and Honey: Evenly sprinkle the raw walnuts over the layered apples and Brie, then drizzle with honey or your choice of preserves for a sweet finish.
  7. Serve or Store: Wrap the sandwiches tightly if preparing ahead for later enjoyment, or serve immediately to experience the ideal contrast of textures and flavors.

Notes

  • For a more savory note, consider adding a light spread of Dijon mustard beneath the butter.
  • Use fresh, crisp apples such as Granny Smith for the best texture and tartness contrast.
  • European style butter enhances the sandwich with its rich, creamy flavor.
  • These sandwiches can be served cold or at room temperature; avoid heating as it may soften the Brie too much.
  • Walnuts can be substituted with pecans or almonds based on preference or availability.
