Baked Brie With Caramel Sauce and Fruit

Ingredients

• 13 ounces brie round
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup corn syrup
• 1 1/2 tablespoons flour
• 1/4 cup milk
• coarsely chopped  pecans, amount based on taste
• 2 red apples (Braeburn are a GREAT choice!)

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350.

2. 2

   Melt butter in saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar, corn syrup, and flour. Bring to a boil stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes continuously stirring. Remove from heat. Once mixture is lukewarm, add milk and stir until smooth. (It will be lumpy at first- just keep stirring.) Add pecans - I used about a handful of halved pecans broken into fairly large pieces.

3. 3

   Place brie into oven until melted- only 5 minutes or so- you will know if you touch the outside and it moves with the melted cheese inside.

4. 4

   Take brie from oven and onto a serving platter. Warm caramel/pecan mixture if it has cooled, and pour over the top. Serve with sliced apples. Enjoy!

5. 5

   **NOTE: If you choose a slice of brie instead of a round, you should not bake the brie. It would melt all over the place. Just take out to room temperature, pour warm caramel sauce over it-- that should soften it enough to still be delicious.
