This is a slightly different take on bruschetta, instead of having meat and/or vegetables this one consist of fruit. These bruschettas are sweet, delicious and full of flavor. I have been experimenting with a couple different types of this appetizer lately and this is one of them. Here is one that is kind of geared towards the dessert category. The French bread is first sliced, baked, buttered and sprinkled with a cinnamon and sugar mixture. After, it is topped with yogurt, honey, and the fruit mixture. If you want you can add additional fruits or replace them with others. This makes another great treat for the Holiday season. Enjoy.
