Ingredients

Scale

Flatbread & Cheese

  • 2 flatbreads (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese

Roasted Apples

  • 1 large apple, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Toasted Walnuts

  • 1/4 cup walnuts, roughly chopped

Hot Honey Drizzle

  • 2 tbsp honey
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

Garnish

  • Fresh thyme leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the apples, toasting the walnuts, and crisping the flatbreads.
  2. Roast the Apples: In a skillet, melt the unsalted butter together with olive oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced apples, sprinkle with cinnamon and a pinch of salt, then sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until the apples are tender and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Toast Walnuts: Spread the roughly chopped walnuts on a baking sheet and toast them in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes or until they become fragrant and lightly golden. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  4. Prepare Flatbreads: Place the flatbreads on another baking sheet and bake in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes until they are crisp and lightly browned.
  5. Assemble Flatbreads: Spread a generous layer of creamy ricotta cheese evenly over each crispy flatbread. Distribute the roasted apples on top, followed by the toasted walnuts for a nice crunch.
  6. Make Hot Honey Drizzle: Warm the honey slightly in a small saucepan or microwave just until it is runny. Stir in a pinch of cayenne pepper if you want a spicy kick. Drizzle this hot honey mixture generously over the assembled flatbreads.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Finish by sprinkling fresh thyme leaves over the flatbreads for a fragrant, herbaceous touch. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of hot honey and the crispy flatbread.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, substitute ricotta with vegan cheese and use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • You can use any type of apple for roasting; sweet varieties like Fuji or Gala work best.
  • If you prefer less spice, omit the cayenne pepper in the honey drizzle.
  • Store any leftovers separately and reheat flatbread briefly in the oven to maintain crispiness.
