APPLE RECIPES DAY 2

Okay I am back, I actually owe you two recipes today one now and one later - thanks for not getting too mad I missed yesterday....

Today's Recipe: Baked Brie with Apple & Cranberries
(A Infamous Recipe from The Pampered Chef)

Baked Brie with Apples & Cranberries
Prep time: 15 minutes

½ ¼ ¼ 1 ¼ 1 1

cup chopped apple (½ medium apple) cup sliced natural almonds cup dried cranberries tablespoon packed brown sugar teaspoon Cinnamon tablespoon butter or margarine, melted round (8 ounces) Brie cheese (about 4 inches in diameter) Crackers or cocktail bread slices

1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Coarsely chop apple with food chopper. Combine apple, almonds, cranberries, brown sugar and cinnamon in small batter bowl; mix gently. Stir in butter just until ingredients are moistened.
2. Cut Brie in half horizontally using utility knife. Place one half of Brie, rind side down, on small bar pan. Spoon half of the apple mixture onto bottom half of Brie, spreading evenly. Top with remaining half of Brie, rind side on the bottom so the cheese is facing up (why? so when melting-the cheese doesn't spill out) - Smart - no INGENIUS!. Spoon remaining apple mixture over top. Bake 12-15 minutes or until cheese is soft and just begins to melt. Serve with assorted crackers or cocktail bread slices.

Yum! Yum!  I know personally I could eat it all myself - oops a little secret that Baked Brie is in my top 5 favorite things to eat!!  I hope you'll try this at your next get-together or maybe for a great start to a romantic dinner!
