Candied Brie with Apple Wedges

Pecans and apples work well together in this great appetizer.

Ingredients

• 1 (4 inch) round Brie cheese
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
• Juice of 1/2 lemon
• 1 large tart apple, such as Granny Smith, cut into about 12 wedges
• 5 pecan halves

Instructions

1. Heat the oven to 275 degrees F.
2. Place the Brie on a baking sheet.
3. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until softened and warm.
4. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small nonstick saucepan over medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low; add the brown sugar and stir occasionally until melted.
5. Make acidulated water by mixing the lemon juice into a small bowl of water. Dip the apple wedges into the water.
6. Place the warm cheese in a small serving bowl or on a small plate. Drizzle with the warm sauce. Garnish with the pecans in a pinwheel formation. Surround the cheese with the apple wedges.
