This baked brie appetizer is topped with a warm cinnamon apple and honey mixture with golden raisins and served with croissants or toasted bread. An impressive, elegant appetizer ready in 25 minutes.

Equipment

  • 1 wheel of brie cheese
  • 2 medium apples, peeled and diced (Honeycrisp or Gala recommended)
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp honey, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1/4 cup golden raisins
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • Croissants or toasted bread squares, for serving

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the brie on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a small baking dish.
  2. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the cheese is soft and melty in the center when gently pressed.
  3. While the brie bakes, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced apples and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened.
  4. Stir in the honey, golden raisins, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Continue cooking for another 2 to 3 minutes until the apples are tender and the mixture is thick and syrupy.
  5. Remove the brie from the oven. Spoon the hot apple mixture generously over the top. Drizzle with extra honey if desired.
  6. Serve immediately with warm croissants or toasted bread squares alongside.
