Most people cringe when they hear the words gourmet appetizers, envisioning hours spent in the kitchen to create these delectable treats. But not all gourmet appetizers are difficult to make and that will certainly become apparent when you read the instructions and ingredients for this easy appetizer recipe for Roasted Apple and Prosciutto Wedges.
Apple and prosciutto are a perfect marriage in this gourmet appetizer recipe, with the sweet taste of the roasted apples complimenting the salty taste of the paper-thin prosciutto (Italian ham). You can use any variety of apple but we would suggest that you choose firmer apples to allow this to be eaten as finger appetizers.
So roll up your sleeves and set 20 minutes aside (honestly, that's all the time it will take for these gourmet appetizers from start to serving) and get ready to accept the compliments from your admiring guests!
Roasted Apple and Prosciutto Wedges
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tblsp dry breadcrumbs
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
2 apples, peeled, cored and cut into eights (Cortland, Fuji or Honeycrisp)
16 thin slices prosciutto
1. Preheat oven to 425F
2. In small bowl, combine brown sugar, breadcrumbs and pepper.
3. Dip apple wedges in sugar mixture, turning and pressing to coat completely. Wrap a piece of prosciutto around each apple wedge and secure by skewering with a toothpick.
4. Place on parchment-paper-lined baking sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until prosciutto is slightly crisp and sugar has caramelized.
Makes 16 appetizers.
