Recipe: Baked Brie with Apples

Ingredients:

  • 8 oz brie cheese wheel
  • 2 apples, cored and chopped
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • ¼ cup walnuts, chopped

Directions:

  1. Preheat and Prepare Brie
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a small baking dish with parchment paper, place the brie wheel on it, and bake for 15 minutes until warm and gooey.
  2. Caramelize the Apples
    In a small bowl, toss the chopped apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

    In a hot pan, melt the butter and add the chopped apples, leaving behind any excess juice. Sauté over high heat for about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are golden brown.

  3. Coat with Honey
    Transfer the sautéed apples back into the bowl, including any leftover juices, and drizzle with honey. Stir to coat the apples evenly, ensuring they have a sweet, glossy finish.
  4. Assemble and Serve
    Carefully transfer the baked brie to a serving plate using a flat spatula, including any melted cheese for maximum gooeyness. Top the brie with the caramelized apple mixture and sprinkle with chopped walnuts for added crunch and flavor.

    Serve warm with crackers or sliced baguette, and enjoy the perfect blend of creamy, sweet, and spiced flavors.
