Roasted Apple/Caramel Brie

The Birthday Girl!

Over the weekend we celebrated my big sister's "Dirty Thirty"! We made a bunch of appetizers, but one "new creation" seemed to stand out the most (and conveniently, it's the only one I managed to take a picture of!).

Roasted Apple/Caramel Brie
2 red apples - peeled, sliced and cored
1 cup of caramel topping (found in the produce aisle)
2-3 tbs butter
2 tbs brandy (or bourbon)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (or pecans)
1 small wheel of brie

Rub the apple slices with butter and roast on 400 degrees until softened. In the meantime, place the caramel and butter into a saucepan and melt/stir together over medium heat. Once combined, stir in the liquor. Chop the apples and add to the caramel mixture. Add the walnuts and stir together. Cut the white off the top and bottom of the brie and then slice in half, horizontally. Place some of the apple/caramel mixture in the middle of the two brie slices and then top with more apple mixture. Bake at 350 degrees until all melty, gooey and delicious! YUM-O!
