- 1 box Whole grain crackers
- 1 cup Fresh apple slices
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Place the brie wheel on a parchment-lined baking sheet. If desired, you can score the top of the brie by cutting a shallow criss-cross pattern into the rind.
Step 3
Coarsely chop the pecans and evenly distribute them over the top of the brie.
Step 4
Sprinkle the dried cranberries over the pecans, ensuring an even layer.
Step 5
Drizzle the honey over the top of the pecans and cranberries, allowing it to seep into the toppings.
Step 6
Finely chop the fresh rosemary and sprinkle it lightly over the entire dish for enhanced flavor.
Step 7
Bake the brie in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the brie is warm and soft to the touch but not completely melted.
Step 8
Remove the brie from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Step 9
Transfer the brie to a serving platter. Serve warm, surrounded by whole grain crackers and fresh apple slices for a complete, heart-healthy appetizer.
