This easy baked Brie with apples, honey and nuts makes a fantastic shareable dish for all cheese lovers. It features a melty Brie cheese alongside with cooked apples, roasted garlic, honey and nuts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8-ounce (225g) wheel of Brie
  • 3 to 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 to 2 head(s) of garlic*
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 large apples, peeled, cored and cut into thick slices
  • 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 Tablespoons honey, divided
  • 3 Tablespoons hazelnuts, roughly chopped
  • 3 Tablespoons almonds, roughly chopped
  • Sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
  2. Remove Brie from its wrapping, keeping the rind on, and place the entire wheel in a cast iron skillet or oven safe dish. Using a paring knife, draw a crosshatch pattern on top and drizzle some olive oil over, sticking a few rosemary sprigs in the cheese.
  3. Peel (most of) the outer layers around the head(s) of garlic, leaving the head(s) intact with all the cloves connected. Trim the top off the head(s) of garlic. Place onto a piece of foil, and drizzle generously the exposed surface of garlic with olive oil. Wrap in foil.
  4. Place the Brie in the oven alongside with the foil-wrapped garlic, and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until cheese is melty in the inside and garlic soft and tender.
  5. While Brie bakes, melt butter in a non-stick skillet placed over medium heat and cook the apples until soft and tender, about 15 minutes, stirring from time to time. Finish the cooking with the lid on, to make the apples even softer. Pour about 1 Tablespoon of honey, sprinkle some sea salt, stir, and set aside.
  6. Toast the nuts in a dry skillet over medium-high heat for about 3-5 minutes, or until toasted. Add a pinch of sea salt and transfer to a clean plate to prevent from burning.
  7. Once the Brie is done baking, remove from the oven, add the baked apples around, then squeeze the roasted garlic out of the heads of garlic, using parchment paper to not burn your hands. Drizzle honey all over, sprinkle the toasted nuts all over, and serve immediately with crusty bread and/or crackers, and a glass of wine. Enjoy!

Notes

* Depending on how sensitive you are to garlic, you can use one entire head of garlic or two of them. Keep in mind that it will be roasted so it’s way easier to digest than eaten raw.
