Fall time is apple time! If you have been following along on social media, you might have noticed that I've been talking about Envy Apples quite a bit over the last month or so. It's officially time for me to share this tasty savory apple appetizer recipe here! I had the chance to hand samples of it out at an actual Publix store and the response was amazing. The truth is, these apples really make this recipe pop. If you've never tried them, you are in for a treat. This is a sponsored post with EnvyTM Apples, all opinions are my own.

Mini Pita Apple Appetizer

SWEET AND SAVORY APPLE APPETIZER RECIPE

These pretty bites start out on toasted mini pitas with herb cream cheese and get loaded with all the best toppings. Let me show you how to make these scrumptious raw apple appetizers.

Here's what you need to make these yummy bites:

  • Mini Pita Pockets
  • Envy™ Apple
  • Herb Cream Cheese
  • Blue Cheese or Gorgonzola Crumbles
  • Pecan or Walnuts
  • Bacon 
  • Honey

Optional Flat Leaf Parsley to garnish.Envy Apple Being CoredTo get started, core your apple and then thinly slice it. Side note: aren't these apples gorgeous? They are just the right amount of tart and crispness. 

Then, half the thin slices so you get cute little bites that will be perfectly pretty on top of the mini pitas. 

soaking apples in water and lemon to preserve them

For added measure, I like to do a little lemon soak to preserve the apples as I'm working. Basically just adding a squeeze of lemon to some water usually does the trick.

Next up, turn your broiler on low and lay out your mini pitas on a non-stick baking tray.
