If you need a simple, yet elegant appetizer that only takes minutes to make to take to a fall potluck or Friendsgiving, this is it! All you need is a food processor and a few ingredients to put together these impressive pear crostinis.
Baked Brie with Dried Fruits & Nuts
I always find myself making baked cheeses when it’s sweater weather. It’s such a comforting seasonal appetizer! This version that is packed with dried fruits and nuts pairs perfectly with a glass of wine on your back porch.
Creamy Tomato Soup Shooters with Grilled Cheese Sticks
Grilled cheese and tomato soup has to be one of the best cold weather comfort food combos of all time. This recipe turns it into an adorable finger food by serving the soup in shot glasses with little grilled cheese dippers.
Crisp apples, fresh greens, toasted pecans, tangy feta cheese, and salty bacon come together to make this flavorful fall salad. Right before serving it’s tossed with a maple cider vinaigrette that really brings everything together.
Cranberry & Brie Bites
This is one of my favorite appetizers to bring to fall get togethers. It’s always gobbled up in minutes! Using store-bought puff pastry makes it quick and easy to put together, taking only about 20 minutes from start to finish.
Spicy Apple Cranberry Little Smokies
If you grew up in the south, chances are you’ve been to many potlucks with a crockpot or two of “lil smokey” sausages. My fall flavored version uses apple jelly and cranberry sauce in place of the normal grape jelly and switches the bbq sauce to one with a kick for a bit of heat.
Pumpkin Pecan Baked Brie
Another great fall baked cheese, this one is extra decadent because it wraps puff pastry around the wheel of brie, but not before stuffing it with a homemade pumpkin butter that is to die for! I highly recommend trying this recipe.
Spiced Honey Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
Instead of throwing away your pumpkin seeds after carving, make this recipe instead! The seeds are roasted and coated in a unique blend of spices and honey to make a delicious snack you won’t be able to stop eating.
