Ingredients

• 1 small (approximately 8 oz) Brie cheese (whole wheel)
• 2 medium Apple (e.g., Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1 loaf/box (for serving) Baguette or crackers
• 1 tablespoon Honey (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the Brie wheel on an oven-safe dish lined with parchment paper or in a small cast-iron skillet. Set aside.

Step 3

Core and thinly slice the apples. Leave the skins on for added color and texture, if desired.

Step 4

In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the apple slices and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.

Step 5

Add the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt to the apples. Stir well to coat evenly, and cook for another 4-5 minutes until the apples are caramelized and tender.

Step 6

Spoon the caramelized apple mixture over the top of the Brie wheel.

Step 7

Bake the Brie in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is soft and melty in the center.

Step 8

Carefully remove the Brie from the oven and drizzle with honey, if using. Sprinkle with chopped pecans or walnuts for an extra crunch, if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately with sliced baguette or crackers. Encourage guests to scoop up the melted Brie and apples with the bread or crackers.
