In this savory-sweet nibble, thinly sliced apple is a fresh, creative stand-in for crostini or crackers. If you don’t have roasted walnut oil, use any other roasted nut oil, such as hazelnut or almond. In a pinch, good-quality extra-virgin olive oil will do.
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet, firm apples (such as Gala or Pink Lady)
- 8 oz. smoked trout
- 3 Tbs. thinly sliced fresh chives
- 2 Tbs. roasted walnut oil
- 1/8 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- About 1/4 cup crème fraîche
- 1 medium lemon

Preparation
- Stand the apples on a cutting board and slice twelve 1/8-inch-thick rounds from the sides (not counting the small outermost slices); cut each round in half and arrange in a single layer on a platter.
- Remove the skin from the trout and flake the flesh. Toss with the chives, walnut oil, and black pepper.
- Using your fingers, divide the trout mixture among the apple slices. Use a small spoon to top each with a dollop of crème fraîche. Finely grate the zest from the lemon over all and serve.
Tip
See the Test Kitchen post for a visual on how to slice the apples.
