Ingredients

Fig Spread:

  • 1 cup finely chopped dried figs

  • ½ cup cider vinegar

  • ¼ cup brown sugar

  • ¼ cup minced white onion

  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger

  • 1 pinch garlic powder

  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper

  • 1 pinch ground cloves

  • 1 pinch ground cinnamon

Crostini:

  • 1 (8 ounce) loaf French bread, cut into 1-inch slices

  • olive oil cooking spray

  • 1 (8 ounce) round Brie cheese, cut into bite-size pieces

  • 1 Granny Smith apple, cut into matchstick-size pieces

  • 1 tablespoon oregano

Directions

  1. Combine figs, vinegar, brown sugar, onion, ginger, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, cloves, and cinnamon in a saucepan; simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until fig spread is reduced, about 30 minutes. Transfer fig spread to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.

  2. Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

  3. Arrange bread slices on a baking sheet. Lightly spray both sides of each bread slice with olive oil cooking spray.

  4. Bake bread slices under the broiler until toasted, about 2 minutes per side. Remove bread from oven and cool slightly, keeping broiler on.

  5. Blend fig spread in a blender or food processor until pureed. Spread about 1 teaspoon fig spread onto each toasted bread slice; top with Brie cheese and apple pieces. Sprinkle each crostini with oregano.

  6. Broil crostini in the preheated oven until Brie cheese is melted and browned, 1 to 2 minutes.
