Description
A simple recipe for baked brie topped with sweet caramelized apples and fresh thyme.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 wheel brie cheese (about 8 ounces)
- 2 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Gala), cored and diced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
- Place the wheel of brie on a small, oven-safe dish or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Add the diced apples to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Stir in the brown sugar and water. Cook for another 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and coated in a light syrup.
- Stir in the fresh thyme leaves.
- Spoon the caramelized apple mixture evenly over the top of the brie wheel.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the brie is soft and beginning to ooze.
- Serve immediately with crackers or bread.
Notes
- You can substitute maple syrup for brown sugar if you prefer a different sweetness profile.
- Use firm apples that hold their shape well during cooking.
- If you do not have fresh thyme, use 1/4 teaspoon of dried thyme.
