Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375ðF (190ðC).
  2. Place the wheel of Brie in a small baking dish or cast-iron skillet.
  3. In a separate skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
  4. Add the peeled, cored, and sliced apples along with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar.
  5. Sauté the apples, tossing occasionally, until they are soft and golden brown, about 10-12 minutes.
  6. Remove the apples from heat and let them cool slightly.
  7. Spoon the caramelized apples evenly over the top of the Brie.
  8. Sprinkle the toasted, coarsely chopped walnuts over the apples.
  9. Bake the Brie for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is soft and gooey but not running out of the rind.
  10. Serve immediately with assorted crackers or baguette slices.
