Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. In a saucepan, melt butter and toss in the almonds until lightly toasted. Put the brie in a baking dish and cover with the sugar, and top with the almonds on all sides if possible. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes. Put everything in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower heat to a simmer, and cook for about 15-20 minutes. You can add more sugar if you like. Serve the brie with the confit poured gently on top, with the sauce dribbling down the side.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Toast pecans on a baking sheet until darkened slightly, 10 to 12 minutes. Grind in a food processor.
- Increase heat to 400 degrees. Unfold pastry on a lightly floured work surface. Sprinkle pecans evenly over half of pastry; fold over other half and pinch edges to seal. Cut pastry in half crosswise; pinch cut edges to seal. Roll out one half to an 8-inch square.
- Brush 1 tablespoon Dijon on one side of Brie. Place in center of rolled-out pastry, mustard-side down. Brush remaining 1 tablespoon Dijon on top of Brie. Roll out remaining half of pastry to a 9-inch square. Center over Brie and gently press around it to remove any air pockets. Trim pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch border around Brie. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Gather dough scraps and reroll to 1/8 inch thick. Using cookie cutters or a paring knife, cut out leaf shapes and score cutouts to create veins. Transfer cutouts to sheet with Brie. Freeze until pastry is firm, about 20 minutes.
- Brush top and sides of pastry with egg. Adhere cutouts to top of pastry in a decorative pattern, and brush cutouts with egg. Bake 30 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue baking until pastry is puffed and golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes more (if it's browning too quickly, loosely cover with foil). Serve hot, with Boozy Fruit, apple wedges, and baguette slices.
BAKED BRIE WITH CARAMEL SAUCE AND FRUIT
This recipe was a suggestion from my Mother that she found but never tried. I altered it a little to fit my taste. I will publish the altered recipe. It was delicious and a perfect ending to a light dinner of fish and veggies. It left everyone full and satisfied, but not rolllling away from the table. You can make the caramel ahead and reheat right before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Melt butter in saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar, corn syrup, and flour. Bring to a boil stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes continuously stirring. Remove from heat. Once mixture is lukewarm, add milk and stir until smooth. (It will be lumpy at first- just keep stirring.) Add pecans - I used about a handful of halved pecans broken into fairly large pieces.
- Place brie into oven until melted- only 5 minutes or so- you will know if you touch the outside and it moves with the melted cheese inside.
- Take brie from oven and onto a serving platter. Warm caramel/pecan mixture if it has cooled, and pour over the top. Serve with sliced apples. Enjoy!
- **NOTE: If you choose a slice of brie instead of a round, you should not bake the brie. It would melt all over the place. Just take out to room temperature, pour warm caramel sauce over it-- that should soften it enough to still be delicious.

Tips:
- Choose a ripe Brie. A ripe Brie will have a soft, creamy texture and a bloomy rind. Avoid Bries that are too hard or have a slimy rind.
- Bake the Brie at a low temperature. This will help to prevent the Brie from melting too quickly and becoming runny.
- Use a variety of fruits for the confit. This will add flavor and color to the dish. Some good options include figs, apples, pears, and cranberries.
- Make the confit ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to develop and meld together.
- Serve the Brie with crackers, bread, or fruit. This will help to balance out the richness of the cheese.
Conclusion:
Baked Brie with Fruit Confit is a delicious and elegant appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a variety of fruits to choose from, you can create a confit that is both flavorful and visually appealing. Serve the Brie with crackers, bread, or fruit for a complete and satisfying dish.
