Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Lay bacon on the prepared baking sheet. Mix pecans, brown sugar, chili powder, and sea salt together in a bowl. Sprinkle evenly over the bacon.
- Bake in the preheated oven until crisp, and browned, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool. Chop bacon into rough pieces.
- Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add apples and 1 tablespoon maple syrup. Saute, stirring only every 60 to 90 seconds, until apples are tender and brown, about 8 minutes. Mix in remaining 2 tablespoons maple syrup and cinnamon. Transfer to a bowl.
- Cut a round of parchment paper slightly larger than the round of Brie cheese. Place the Brie cheese on the parchment paper; place onto a baking sheet. Top with the cooked apples to make a big mound.
- Bake in the hot oven for 5 minutes. Add bacon-praline mixture on top of the Brie. Continue baking until top is bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to a serving platter using a large spatula. Sprinkle with sea salt and rosemary.

Tips:
- For the best results, use a ripe brie cheese. A ripe brie will be soft and creamy, with a slightly runny center. - To easily remove the rind from the brie, score the top of the cheese in a criss-cross pattern, then use a spoon to scoop out the cheese. - If you don't have maple syrup, you can substitute honey or brown sugar. - For a sweeter brie, use a sweeter apple variety, such as Honeycrisp or Fuji. - For a more savory brie, use a sharper apple variety, such as Granny Smith or Braeburn. - If you don't have bacon, you can substitute diced ham or sausage. - To make the brie ahead of time, assemble the brie and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Store the brie in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When ready to bake, let the brie come to room temperature for 30 minutes before baking.Conclusion:
Baked brie with maple bacon apples is a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is simple to make and can be prepared ahead of time, making it a great option for busy hosts. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for an impressive appetizer, give this baked brie a try. You won't be disappointed!
