Ingredients

• 8 ounces brie cheese (1 round of Brie with rind)
• 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup (approximately)
• 1-2 apples, cored and cut into thick slices
• 4-8 slices ham, sliced in half and then rolled (like a tube)
• 1 baguette, sliced (use a good crusty bakery baguette)

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350°F.

2. 2

   Place round of brie into glass or ceramic pie dish. Drizzle with maple syrup. (Note: If you do not care for the rind, you may slice off the top layer of rind before drizzling with maple syrup.).

3. 3

   Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until cheese begins to melt.

4. 4

   Arrange apple slices and ham around brie and serve with baguette slices.

5. 5

   Optional: Warm apple wedges and rolls of ham in baking dish with brie during the last few minutes of baking. (I usually skip this step.).
