🥘 Ingredients

9 items

• 1 small (approximately 8 ounces) wheel of Brie cheese
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium apple (Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, or your choice)
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 0.25 cups chopped pecans
• 1 pinch kosher salt
• 1 sheet puff pastry (optional)
• 1 package (for serving) crackers or sliced baguette

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. If using puff pastry, roll it out slightly to smooth edges, then place the Brie in the center. Wrap the puff pastry around the Brie, trimming excess and sealing the edges. Optionally, brush with an egg wash for shine.

3. Slice the apple into thin, even wedges, discarding the core.

4. In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the apple slices and sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.

5. Sprinkle the cinnamon and a pinch of salt over the apples, then drizzle in 1 tablespoon of maple syrup. Stir to coat and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the apples are caramelized. Remove from heat.

6. Place the Brie (either wrapped in puff pastry or unwrapped) on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes (or 20 minutes if wrapped in puff pastry) until the Brie is gooey inside.

7. Carefully transfer the baked Brie to a serving platter. Top with the caramelized apples, sprinkle with chopped pecans, and drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of maple syrup over the top.

8. Serve warm with crackers or slices of baguette for dipping and spreading.
