Ingredients

Scale

For the Board:

  • 2–3 apples, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 8 oz burrata cheese
  • 1 cup grapes or fresh figs (optional)
  • 1 cup mixed nuts (walnuts, pistachios, or pecans)
  • Crackers, toasted baguette slices, or flatbread for serving

For the Fig Balsamic Drizzle:

  • 2 tbsp fig jam
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp honey

Instructions

  1. Caramelize the apples: In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and stir in brown sugar. Add apple slices and cook for 5–7 minutes until they become soft and develop a golden caramelized coating.
  2. Prepare the drizzle: In a small bowl, whisk together fig jam, balsamic vinegar, and honey until the mixture is smooth and well combined, creating a sweet and tangy sauce.
  3. Assemble the board: Place the burrata cheese in the center of a serving board. Arrange the caramelized apples, mixed nuts, grapes or fresh figs, and crackers or toasted bread slices evenly around the burrata.
  4. Finish: Drizzle the fig balsamic sauce generously over the burrata and apples to add a rich, flavorful touch.
  5. Serve immediately: Enjoy this elegant appetizer right away as a perfect starter or an indulgent snack.

Notes

  • Use crisp apple varieties such as Honeycrisp or Gala for the best texture and flavor.
  • For extra depth, add a pinch of cinnamon when caramelizing the apples.
  • Caramelized apples can be prepared ahead of time and gently reheated before assembling the board.
