Ingredients
- 1 piece (approximately 8 oz) Brie cheese wheel
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 medium-sized Honeycrisp apple (or similar variety)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups Walnuts
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 sprigs Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
- 1 baguette (sliced) or pack Baguette or crackers
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Place the Brie wheel on a parchment-lined baking sheet and set it aside.
Step 3
In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the walnuts for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
Core and dice the apple into small bite-sized pieces.
Step 5
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir well to coat the apples evenly.
Step 6
Cook the apples for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and caramelized. Remove the skillet from heat.
Step 7
Transfer the Brie to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is soft and melty but still holding its shape.
Step 8
Remove the Brie from the oven and carefully transfer it to a serving plate.
Step 9
Top the warm Brie with the caramelized apples and toasted walnuts. Drizzle the honey over the top for added sweetness.
Step 10
Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs if desired, and serve immediately with sliced baguette or crackers.
