Oven-Roasted Queso Fresco Cheese and Apples
We’ve all heard of baked camembert cheese – that rich, buttery French dish, right? Well this Oven-Roasted Queso Fresco Cheese and Apples is a lighter take on the baked cheese idea. Queso fresco is fresh and mild Mexican cheese which is simple to make from scratch and tastes absolutely delicious when served with nuts and apples.
It’s so easy to make this baked queso too. Start by mixing apples, butter, honey, rosemary leaves and your choice of nuts in a baking dish. I’ve used pistachios, walnuts, almonds and pecans for this before and they all taste great when once the cheese is placed on top and baked until golden brown! I like to serve this dish in the center of the table with freshly baked bread.

Never thought cheese and apples would go together but this recipe changed my mind, going to be making again. Thanks.
I made this along side some cheesy garlic bread, really appreciate you sharing this recipe with us. Bookmarking the page, five stars from me!
Does anyone know where I can buy queso fresco cheese or what can I replace it with, this dish looks so good :(
Simple and quick meal to make, really happy that I can eat without waiting three hours.
I dont think cheese goes very well with apples but my husband liked it.
I was judging this dish hardcore when I first saw it and now its my favourite lunch to make.
Skipped the rosemary, not a fan of the flavor but everything else was delightful :)
The apple slices were definitely too large the first time I made this. I had to re-do the dish with smaller ones.
Very filling, going to be making this again next week for me and my friends.
I used almond nuts because I wasnt sure what you guys meant by nuts and it was great. Love it.
My family gave me the crazy eye when they saw me putting cheese and apples in one bowl. Now they're all begging for me to cook this once a week.
When I first saw this I thought it would be some sort of aprils fools joke because who puts apples and cheese together, well starting now its going to be me doing that. This was fantastic.
The recipe was really easy to follow so I had no trouble making it, really happy and satisfied with how it turned out.
I've never seen this before, definitely going to try it once I am back home. Giving it five stars though because it looks so appealing.
Great recipe, thanks. Gonna make again!
This has such a unique flavor, I didnt expect it to taste as good as it does.
Heaven on earth, this queso fresco is the bomb!
This apple queso fresco was really tasty, love the flavors. Thx.
I ate this cold for work yesterday and it turns out this is the perfect meal for leftovers, tastes great even cold.
My kids devoured this entire thing whole in under five minutes. LOL
I love it Yummy-yummy!
