Honey Crisp and Goat Cheese Ladyfinger Crostini Appetizer

We served this delicious Honey Crisp and Goat Cheese Ladyfinger Crostini Appetizer at a dinner party. Our guests were in for a great surprise, with a mouthful of pure happiness! Ladyfingers (Savoiardi in Italian) are small, delicate sponge cakes that are shaped like large, fat fingers. HA. They’re a great substitute for a baguette!

It’s also the season for cooking with pears and apples, as they’ve never tasted better. Mix in goat cheese, honey, pecans, and my favorite “winter herb,”—rosemary on delicious ladyfingers. And if you want to make a dessert, this Chocolate Mousse Cake with Ladyfingers is a must-make!

Set this plate of goodness out, and it will be devoured before you know it!
