Servings 10 servings
Ingredients
- 1 8-ounce wheel brie cheese
- 1 large Honeycrisp apple cored and chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup chopped pecans
- 2 –3 tablespoons caramel syrup plus more as desired
For Serving
- Crackers

- Fresh apple slices
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Core the apple and cut it into small, bite-sized pieces.
- Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped apple, brown sugar and cinnamon. Stir until the apples are coated in the melted cinnamon butter.
- Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the brown sugar has melted and the apples are tender and caramelized. Remove from the heat.
- Place the wheel of brie in a small oven-safe baking dish.
- Using a sharp knife, lightly score the top rind of the brie in a crisscross pattern, being careful not to cut all the way through the cheese.
- Spoon the caramelized cinnamon apples over the top of the brie. Drizzle any remaining cinnamon butter from the skillet over the apples.
- Drizzle on caramel syrup and sprinkle with pecans.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the brie is warm, soft, and gooey in the center.
- Remove the baked brie from the oven.
- Add more caramel syrup, if desired.
- Serve immediately with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or fresh apple slices.

Notes
For even more flavor, lightly toast the pecans before adding them to the baked brie. You can also finish the caramel drizzle with a pinch of flaky sea salt for an easy salted caramel variation.
