Whether it's small bites or a full charcuterie spread, your Thanksgiving appetizers should be delicious and festive — but also uncomplicated. These straightforward recipes won't dissapoint and will leave you with time to focus on roasting the turkey or throwing the football (or watching the football get thrown if you're anything like Team Statement Home).

HARVEST CHARCUTERIE BOARD

A spread full of all the fall goods, perfect for grazing over as the turkey cooks.

We love this spread so much we dedicated an entire post to it which you can find here, including a video how-to and a full list of ingredients.

Pop in our Charcuterie Insert and the tray turns into a cheese board with handles and sides to hold all the goods intact.

Our go-to combo from this spread: dunking a hunk of cheese into pumpkin butter.

Get all the details here.

SWEET & SPICY CORNBREAD BISCOTTI

Yes, we found a way to turn a cookie into an appetizer. These are a firey combo of crunchy, creamy, and sweet - with a kick!

INGREDIENTS:

- Store-bought cornbread biscotti (plain biscotti will also work)

- Herbed goat cheese

- Sweet & Spicy Jelly (we recommend Trader Joe's "Hot & Sweet Pepper Jelly", but any jelly or fruit spread with added heat works)

- Roasted pumpkin seeds

DIRECTIONS:

- Spread herbed goat cheese onto each biscotti

- Using a spoon, add a dollop of jelly on top

- Top each off with roasted pumpkin seeds

INGREDIENTS:

- Apples (we recommend golden delicious or honey crisp)

- Mascapone cheese

- Candied pecans

DIRECTIONS:

- Slice apples (or follow our lead and buy pre-sliced apples...anything to save some time.)

- Spread marscapone onto each apple slice, covering almost the entire surface

- Place a candied pecan in the center of each apple
