You'll Need:

One (4-inch) round brie cheese
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 large tart apple, such as Granny Smith, cut into about 12 wedges
5 pecan halves

Procedure:

Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F. Place the brie on a baking sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until softened and warm. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small nonstick saucepan over medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low; add the brown sugar and stir occasionally until melted. Make acidulated water by mixing the lemon juice into a small bowl of water. Dip the apple wedges into the water. Place the warm cheese in a small serving bowl or on a small plate. Drizzle with the warm sauce. Garnish with the pecans in a pinwheel formation. Surround the cheese with the apple wedges.
