Transfer fig spread to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
Arrange bread slices on a baking sheet. Lightly spray both sides of each bread slice with olive oil cooking spray.
Bake bread slices under the broiler until toasted, about 2 minutes per side.
Remove bread from oven and cool slightly, keeping broiler on.
Blend fig spread in a blender or food processor until pureed.
Spread about 1 teaspoon fig spread onto each toasted bread slice; top with Brie cheese and apple pieces.
Sprinkle each crostini with oregano.
Broil crostini in the preheated oven until Brie cheese is melted and browned, 1 to 2 minutes.
