4.5 from 62 reviews

A warm and gooey Maple Pecan Baked Brie that combines creamy brie cheese with a sweet, cinnamon-spiced maple and pecan topping. Perfect as an elegant appetizer served with sliced baguette, graham crackers, or apple slices.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheese

  • 1 8 ounce round brie cheese

Topping

  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Serving

  • Sliced baguette
  • Graham crackers
  • Apple slices

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the brie.
  2. Bake Brie: Place the 8-ounce round brie cheese on a small baking sheet and bake it in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes until it is softened and warm. Remove from the oven and let it cool for approximately 5 minutes to allow the cheese to set slightly.
  3. Prepare Maple Pecan Topping: While the brie cools, combine the maple syrup, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously until the brown sugar has completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Stir in the chopped pecans, coating them evenly with the sweet syrup mixture.
  4. Assemble and Serve: Pour the warm maple pecan mixture over the softened brie. Serve immediately with sliced baguette, graham crackers, or apple slices for dipping and spreading the creamy, sweet cheese.

Notes

  • Use a small baking sheet or a ceramic baking dish to prevent spills in the oven.
  • Letting the baked brie cool slightly helps it maintain its shape when pouring the topping.
  • Chopped pecans can be toasted beforehand for extra flavor if desired.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect warm, gooey texture.
  • Variations include adding a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of fresh rosemary for an herbal touch.
