Spiced Pear and Pomegranate Crostini

For me there’s no better way to start a party than with a beautiful appetizer! This Spiced Pear and Pomegranate Crostini is definitely one you need to add to your repertoire during the winter months. The soft and fragrant spiced pears paired with the crunchy and bright pomegranate are the perfect match! Then there’s the cinnamon maple sauce which tops your crostini. Let’s just put it this way, when I made this it turned out to be our dinner because we just couldn’t stop eating them. We loved it!
Today I’ve teamed up with my friend Taylor to give you two {delicious} ideas of how you can use Pear and Pomegranate in your menu. She made a delicious Pear and Pomegranate Salad that looks amazing! You can get her recipe here.

These Crostini’s are the perfect recipe for a get together. Not only are they beautiful but they’re easy to serve and they don’t require any utensils. Added bonus for sure!
