Apples are one of the most versatile fruits — their tartness complements everything from spiced pies to salty cheese. So, today, we round out our month of apples with a savory flatbread from Sarah of A Saucy Kitchen. With only five ingredients and a speedy bake time, this recipe makes fall meals a breeze. Here’s how to whip it up…

Apple and Goat Cheese Flatbread
By Sarah Nevins of A Saucy Kitchen

This flatbread combines seasonal ingredients with minimal effort. The sweetness of the apple pairs wonderfully with the creaminess of the cheese and the crunchiness of the pecans. Bake on a pizza stone for an even crispier base and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy this as a light lunch, or serve as an appetizer at your next party.

Recipe: Apple and Goat Cheese Flatbread
Serves 1-2

You’ll need:

1 8-inch flat bread or pizza crust
One handful of arugula
1/2 an apple, cut into thin slices
1 oz goat cheese, crumbled
Crumbled pecans
Olive oil for drizzling

Heat your oven to 400F. Place the flatbread on the middle of a baking tray and top with the arugula, apple slices, cheese and pecans and bake for 10 minutes.

Top with additional arugula and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve immediately.

Thank you so much, Sarah!
