Baked Brie with Apples & Cranberries

Baked Brie with Apples & Cranberries (shared by Susan)

This is super-easy, quick and always well-received.

I almost always double the recipe. If you have one, it’s great to bake and serve on a pizza stone as it keeps everything warm.

½ cup chopped apple (1/2 medium) -- (I usually use the whole apple)

¼ cup sliced natural almonds

¼ cup dried cranberries

1 tablespoon packed brown sugar

¼ teaspoon cinnamon

1 tablespoon butter or margarine, melted

1 round (8 oz.) Brie cheese

Preheat oven to 350.

Coarsely chops apple.

Combine apple, almonds, cranberries, brown sugar and cinnamon in small bowl; mix gently.

Stir in butter just until ingredients are coated.

Cut Brie in half horizontally. Place one half of Brie, rind side down, on small oven-safe pan. Spoon half of the apple mixture onto the bottom half of Brie, spreading evenly. Top with remaining half of Brie, rind side up. Spoon remaining apple mixture over top.

Bake 12-15 minutes or until cheese is soft and just begins to melt.

Serve with any type of crackers, chips or bread.
