Skill level: Easy

Apple toast is a simple way to create a fresh, flavorful bite, and this dairy-free version offers a creamy, elevated twist. Smooth cashew cream replaces traditional spreads, pairing perfectly with crisp apple slices, a drizzle of honey, and fresh herbs. The combination delivers a balanced mix of sweet, savory, and creamy textures. Easy to prepare and visually appealing, this recipe is ideal for appetizers, snacks, or light entertaining.

Crisp apple slices layered over creamy cashew spread on toasted bread. A simple, flavorful bite.

Ingredients

  • 1 heaping cup of cashews, soaked overnight + drained
  • ¼ cup coconut cream (does not need to be refrigerated; just scoop it off the top of a can of full-fat coconut milk)
  • 2 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • One sliced Autumn Glory® apple
  • Sliced brown bread, toasted with a little olive oil and sliced into triangles (or any bread of choice)
  • Honey
  • Fresh thyme
  • Freshly cracked black pepper for serving

Instructions

  1. Combine cashews, coconut cream, honey, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and cinnamon in a high-powered blender, then blend until completely smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides frequently to push the mixture into the blade.
  2. Transfer to a sealed container and chill for several hours or, ideally, overnight before serving.
  3. Top toasted triangles of brown bread with cream cheese; arrange sliced apples on top.
  4. Drizzle over honey, and top with thyme and black pepper. Serve immediately
