How to Make Baked Brie With Maple Apples And Pecans

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Spread 1/2 cup pecan halves in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, stirring once or twice, until fragrant. Set aside.
3. In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons brown sugar and stir until dissolved.
4. Add 1 cup diced apples (about 1 medium apple) to the saucepan and cook, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes, until softened but not mushy. Set aside.
5. Place a wheel of brie (8 ounces) in the center of an oven-safe baking dish.
6. Roughly chop 1/4 cup of the baked pecans for garnish. Arrange the remaining baked pecans around the brie in two layers.
7. Spoon the maple-glazed apples into the center of the brie and arrange a few around the perimeter.
8. Top the apples with the chopped pecans.
9. In a small saucepan, heat 1/4 cup maple syrup over medium heat until it boils. Boil for 3-5 minutes, until slightly thickened.
10. Drizzle the maple syrup over the apples and let it flow down the sides of the brie.
11. Cover the baking dish loosely with foil.
12. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the brie is melted and gooey, and everything is heated through.
13. Let cool slightly before serving. Serve immediately with crackers or bread.
