How To Make Easy Baked Brie with Apples

1. First things first, preheat your oven to 375F. While the oven’s getting hot, core and slice your apples into wedges. Don’t stress, they don’t have to be perfect!
2. Place your Brie wheel in an oven-safe dish. Don’t forget to place the dish on a baking sheet before popping into the oven. Bake until it’s gorgeously golden and gooey. This should take around 15 minutes.
3. While the Brie’s getting all yummy in the oven, grab a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Toss in your sliced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon for that touch of sweetness and warmth. Cook until the apples are tender and caramelized.
4. Once the Brie wheel is baked to perfection, top it off with the caramelized apples. Serve immediately for the most satisfying gooeyness.

Tips For The Best Results

• Don’t rush the apples. Let them soften and caramelize at their own pace. The sweetness they release is divine!
• Want to up the flavor game? Toast some almonds and sprinkle them on top. Trust me; it’s a game changer!

Storage Tips

• Got some leftover Brie? Just refrigerate it in a wrap. Try to use it within a couple of days, though.
