The Perfect Holiday Appetizer
The big secret for this recipe is store bought puff pastry.
I always have store bought puff pastry in my freezer. It's so useful and saves me so much time on easy and quick appetizers or desserts.
Time saving, delicious, and easy. What's not to love?!
The puff pastry is perfect with sweet apples and savory white cheddar. And after everything is topped with honey, oh man it is delicious!!!
Also - you'll want to get a good, high quality honey. Check out this one on Amazon. It's one of my favorites and is SO delicious!
I tested these out by making them for close family, and they were gone in 10 minutes. They absolutely loved these delish appetizers, and your family will love them too.
