Every good meal starts with a light, flavorful bite, and this crostini appetizer is just the thing.

These crostini are so simple to throw together, you'll be singing our praises. If figs aren't your thing, don't worry. You can always substitute with pears or apple slices.

Bonus: having appetizers on hand will help buy you time if dinner is running late. Or if you're throwing a whole Friendsgiving bash.
