Joanna Gaines’ Baked Brie
Makes: 8 to 10 servings
Ingredients
- 1 (1-pound) wheel double-cream Brie cheese
- 4 tablespoons salted butter, at room temperature
- ½ cup lightly packed light brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
- 6 Granny Smith apples
- Juice of ½ lemon
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Center the Brie in a pie plate. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl with a handheld electric mixer), beat together the butter, brown sugar, salt and two tablespoons of water on medium speed until the mixture is paste-like. Add the pecans and beat just until combined. Spread the mixture on top of the Brie; it will be roughly one inch thick.
- Bake until the Brie looks like its sides are about to give way, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, core and slice the apples into wedges. In a large bowl, toss the wedges with the lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Serve the warm Brie immediately with the apple slices.
