Ingredients

1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup chopped macadamia nuts or pecans
1 tablespoon brandy
1 (14-ounce) round brie
Apple wedges, for serving
Pear wedges, for serving
2 to 3 tablespoons lemon juice
Crackers, for serving

Directions

In a small bowl stir together the sugar, nuts, and brandy. Cover and chill for at least 24 hours or up to 1 week.

Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.

Place the brie on an ovenproof platter or pie plate. Bake for 4 or 5 minutes or until the brie is slightly softened. Spread the sugar mixture in an even layer on top of the warm brie and bake for 2 to 3 minutes longer, or until the sugar melts. Brush the fruit wedges with lemon juice and arrange them around 1 side of the brie. Place crackers around the other side.

Always a hit!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Absolutely love this recipe. It's a hit where ever I bring it. I used walnuts instead of pecans & I also double the topping... recipe since everyone loves to pick at it. Thank you for another great recipe.Read more

This was divine!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Served as appetizer for Christmas Eve...simply said...it was a HUGE hit! There is another batch of the glaze in the fridge... for an upcoming holiday birthday gathering. Such a simple recipe. The center softened - just as Paula demonstrated on her show. The lemon juice on the apples and pears made them simply yummy. Served this with French baquette bread and organic, plain mini toasts, so as not to take away from the fabulous taste of the brie coupled with delicious glaze with that hint of the brandy!Read more

a very personal experience
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

following the directions resulted in a firm cheese with sugar on top..no melting anywhere. now maybe it was the oven.... this basically has a great taste but the timing and the melting is very very idiocyncratic to your oven. At some point I had burnt pecans but not melted sugar.Read more
