Festive Seasons
Baked Brie
Serves: 4–6 | Prep time: 30 minutes
1 (6-inch) wheel triple-crème brie
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 medium apples, sliced
½ cup fresh cranberries*
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
½ teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons real maple syrup
Fresh thyme for garnish (optional)
Crackers or baguette slices for serving
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Using a serrated knife, cut top rind (about ÂĽ inch) off brie; discard.
3. Set an oven-proof skillet (cast iron works well) over medium-high heat. Melt butter; sauté apples until slightly soft (about 5 minutes). Add cranberries; cook another 2 minutes. Sprinkle with pumpkin pie spice and salt.
4. Move apple and cranberry mixture to edge of the pan. Nestle brie into middle of fruit mixture; bake 12 to 15 minutes or until cheese is golden and bubbly.
5. Drizzle with maple syrup; sprinkle with thyme. Serve immediately with crackers or baguettes.
*If fresh cranberries aren’t in season, use frozen and thaw before use. If frozen aren’t available, dried can be used but reduce maple syrup to 1 tablespoon.
