Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces wheel of brie
- 2 medium-sized apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith recommended)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- Honey for drizzling
- Optional garnishes: chopped pecans and fresh thyme
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Peel, core, and slice the apples thinly.
- In a nonstick skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced apples and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of brown sugar on top. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and golden brown.
- Place the wheel of brie in a small baking dish or cast-iron skillet. If desired, score the top with a knife to create a pattern and help the cheese melt evenly.
- Spoon the caramelized apples over the top of the brie, spreading them evenly.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the brie is soft and gooey.
- Remove from the oven and drizzle generously with honey. Sprinkle with optional garnishes like chopped pecans and fresh thyme.
- Serve warm with slices of toasted baguette, crackers, or fresh fruit.
Notes
[‘Don’t overcook the brie to avoid losing its creamy texture.’, ‘Use apples that hold their shape when cooked, like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith.’, ‘Score the top of the brie for even melting and a decorative look.’, ‘Caramelize the apples ahead of time for easier preparation.’]
