- 1 Tbsp raw honey or maple syrup
- 4 Tbsps organic all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp sea salt

Instructions
- Preheat the oven according to your apple-roasting method. Arrange the sliced apples on a baking sheet.
- Drizzle the apples with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon allspice. Toss until evenly coated.
- Roast the apples until tender and lightly caramelized around the edges. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the tablespoon of butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and stir until fragrant, taking care not to burn it.
- Add the all-purpose flour and stir until incorporated into the butter and oil mixture.
- Add the sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, oregano, basil, thyme, remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/8 teaspoon allspice. Stir to distribute the seasonings.
- Gradually whisk in the vegetable stock, incorporating it smoothly into the flour mixture. Add the honey or maple syrup and stir.
- Stir in the pumpkin puree and roasted apples, including any flavorful juices left on the baking sheet.
- Blend the soup with an immersion blender until smooth and creamy. If using a countertop blender, work in small batches and follow hot-liquid safety instructions.
- Reduce the heat and stir in the heavy cream and freshly grated Parmesan until fully incorporated.
- Heat gently until warmed through, avoiding a vigorous boil.
- Ladle into bowls and top with homemade croutons. Serve warm.
Notes
- Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to maintain the intended savory flavor.
- Honeycrisp, Gala, and Sweet Tango apples are suitable choices.
- Add homemade croutons immediately before serving to preserve their crunch.
