Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Shave off the top rind of the Brie (it is easiest to do this after it has been in the freezer for about 20 minutes). If the Brie came in a wooden box, return it to the original container. If not, create a makeshift "box" out of a few layers of aluminum foil, leaving the top of the Brie exposed.
- Place the cheese on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until warm and gooey, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 20 minutes before serving. Carefully transfer to a serving platter; you do not want the rind to puncture, if possible.
- While the Brie is cooling, make the praline sauce. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, maple syrup, and pecans. Cook, stirring constantly, until all of the ingredients are well combined, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in coarsely ground black pepper and remove from heat. Allow the mixture to cool for 5 to 10 minutes, until it has thickened up just a bit. Dollop the warm sauce over the baked cheese. (There may be extra praline sauce.) Serve with assorted crackers.
Tips for Making the Perfect Baked Brie with Maple Apples and Pecans
- Choose a ripe brie. A ripe brie will have a soft, creamy interior and a bloomy rind. Avoid brie that is too hard or too soft.
- Score the brie. Scoring the brie helps the cheese to melt evenly and absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.
- Use a variety of apples. Using a variety of apples gives the dish a more complex flavor. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
- Sauté the apples in butter. Sautéing the apples in butter helps to caramelize them and bring out their natural sweetness.
- Add the pecans. Pecans add a crunchy texture and a nutty flavor to the dish.
- Bake the brie. Bake the brie until it is melted and bubbly. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
- Serve immediately. Baked brie is best served immediately, while it is still warm and gooey.
Conclusion
Baked brie with maple apples and pecans is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to impress your guests and it is sure to be a hit at your next party.
