Best 3 Baked Brie Topped With Savory Granola And Apples Recipes

BAKED BRIE WITH APPLE COMPOTE

Steps:

• In a 2-quart sauté pan over medium heat, melt the butter.
• Add the apples and sauté, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and have released most of their liquid, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add the sugar and cardamom, stir to dissolve and cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated, 12 to 15 minutes more.
• Remove from the heat and let the apple compote cool to room temperature.
• Position a rack in the center of an oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• With a sharp knife, cut the cheese in half horizontally.
• On a clean work surface, place one half of the cheese, sliced side up, and evenly spread 1/2 cup of the apple compote over it. Set the other half, sliced side down, over the compote and spread an additional 1/2 cup compote over the top.
• Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and set the cheese in the center of the dough.
• Fold the dough up over the sides of the cheese, pleating the upper edges to fit snugly around the cheese.
• Pinch the dough together in the center to seal.
• Brush the dough evenly with the egg wash and place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake until the pastry is golden all over and crisp, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Let it rest for 5 minutes, then transfer to a platter along with a sharp knife and the crackers.
• Serve any remaining compote alongside.

APPLES-AND-HONEY BAKED BRIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper.
• In a medium skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. Add the apples and cook, stirring often, until softened and lightly caramelized, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the apples to a bowl and toss with the honey. Season with salt and pepper.In a small saucepan, melt the remaining 6 tablespoons butter. On the prepared sheet pan, lay out 1 sheet of the phyllo dough and lightly brush it with melted butter to coat. Lay another sheet of phyllo on top, brush with butter, and repeat this process until you've layered all 6 sheets of phyllo. Place the Brie in the center and top it with the apple mixture. Fold the corners of the phyllo sheets toward the center of the Brie, overlapping them to seal, then brush with any remaining melted butter.
• In a small saucepan, melt the remaining 6 tablespoons butter. On the prepared sheet pan, lay out 1 sheet of the phyllo dough and lightly brush it with melted butter to coat. Lay another sheet of phyllo on top, brush with butter, and repeat this process until you've layered all 6 sheets of phyllo.
• Place the Brie in the center and top it with the apple mixture. Fold the corners of the phyllo sheets toward the center of the Brie, overlapping them to seal, then brush with any remaining melted butter.
• Bake, rotating the pan halfway through, for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown and crisp. Transfer to a platter and serve immediately.

JAMIE'S BAKED BRIE

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Stir the shallot, garlic, white pepper, and vermouth together in a small bowl; set aside. Cut the rind off the top of the brie cheese, leaving a 1/4-inch lip around the edge. Place the brie cheese onto a baking sheet, and spoon the shallot mixture over top. Fold the phyllo sheets in half to make square pieces. Wrap the brie with the phyllo squares, tucking the edges underneath of the brie cheese. Trim the corners if needed to avoid tucking too much pastry underneath. You want complete enclosure, but without too much overlap. Brush the top with melted butter to make the pastry brown in the oven.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the phyllo has turned golden brown and the brie cheese is very soft, about 20 minutes. Serve warm.
