Apple crisp baked brie

This baked brie recipe is the ultimate party appetizer! The rich, buttery cheese is delicious topped with honey, pomegranate seeds, pistachios, and herbs, and apple crisp baked brie takes 10 minutes to make.

This baked brie recipe might just be the best holiday appetizer out there. What could be better than rich, melty brie piled onto golden brown baguette with honey, fruit, and nuts? It’s also visually stunning, with a festive mix of red, white, and green colors. Baking time included, it takes 10 minutes to put together. But as I experimented with this recipe, I found that I actually preferred the cheese without it. Instead, simply transfer the brie from the fridge to the oven!

Note: It’s important that the brie is cold when it goes in the oven. Otherwise it will melt, not soften, while it bakes. Second, skipping the puff pastry makes way for fun, festive garnishes! I love to use seasonal produce whenever I cook, and, here, fresh pomegranate seeds are the perfect addition.
