Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 oz Brie cheese wheel
- 1.5 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 cup diced firm apples such as Honeycrisp or Gala
- 2 tbsp light brown sugar, packed
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 0.75 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.13 tsp ground nutmeg
- 0.13 tsp kosher salt
- 2 tbsp water
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans

- 0.25 tsp vanilla extract optional
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat oven to 350°F. Line a small baking sheet with parchment.
- Trim and lightly score the top rind of the Brie; place it on the lined sheet.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add apples, brown sugar, and salt; cook, stirring, until the apples soften, 5–7 minutes.
- Stir in cinnamon, nutmeg, thyme, lemon juice, maple syrup, and water; simmer until glossy and jammy, 3–5 minutes. Fold in pecans and vanilla; turn off heat.
- Bake the Brie until warm and oozy, 8–10 minutes.
- Spoon the warm apple compote over the Brie. Rest 2 minutes, then serve.
Notes
Variation ideas: Add a splash of bourbon to the compote, swap pecans for walnuts, or stir in a handful of dried cranberries. Make-ahead tip: Cook the apple compote up to 3 days in advance; refrigerate and rewarm gently before serving. Serve with crackers or sliced baguette.
