"I'm a stay-at-home mother with two boys and I enjoy cooking-especially appetizers," shares Tracy Schuhmacher from Penfield, New York. "It must run in the family because my mom served appetizers and desserts exclusively for several Christmas Eve celebrations. Brie is one of my favorite cheeses and this sweet-savory recipe is party-special but especially easy to throw together."

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.

Time 15m

Yield 13 Cheese, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

13 ounces brie round
2 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup corn syrup
1 1/2 tablespoons flour
1/4 cup milk
coarsely chopped pecans, amount based on taste
2 red apples (Braeburn are a GREAT choice!)

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.

FRUIT AND CARAMEL BRIE

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 round (8 oz) Brie cheese, rind removed
1/3 cup caramel ice cream topping
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup chopped dried apples
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1 loaf (1 pound) French bread baguette, sliced and toasted.

Steps:

Place brie in a microwave safe bowl. In a small bowl, combine caramel topping, cranberries, apples and walnuts. Spread over Brie. Microwave, uncovered, on High for 60 to 90 seconds until cheese is heated through and slightly melted. Serve with toasted baguette slices.

Tips:

To make the perfect caramel sauce, use equal parts sugar and water. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture turns a light amber color. Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla extract.
For a more flavorful brie, let it come to room temperature before baking. This will allow the flavors to develop and blend.
To prevent the brie from becoming too runny, bake it in a shallow baking dish. This will help the cheese to hold its shape.
Serve the brie with crackers, bread, or fruit. You can also drizzle the brie with honey or maple syrup.

Conclusion:

Fruit and caramel brie is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or dessert. It is perfect for parties or special occasions. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your guests.
