Fruit And Caramel Brie Recipes

BAKED BRIE WITH CARAMEL SAUCE AND FRUIT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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!
• **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.

BAKED CARAMEL BRIE APPETIZER

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350F. Place your brie, puff pastry, and caramel on the counter for 10-30 minutes, depending on the warmth of your house, to make them easier to work with.
• Roll out the pastry into about 1/6 of an inch thick. It should be big enough to wrap around the brie.
• Use a plate or a platter to cut a round shape out of the puff pastry. It should be at least 3-4 inches bigger than your round of brie on all sides.
• Spread the caramel on the center of the pastry and then top with the brie.
• Carefully fold the pastry over the brie. It's okay for the pastry not to be perfect or to have cracks where it has dried out. All will be well once it's baked.
• Once the brie has been fully wrapped in the pastry, brush with a bit of egg wash.
• Place the pastry-wrapped brie on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is fully cooked.
• The top should be browned and the pastry should be really flaky. Cut the top open to let the melted cheese and caramel ooze out.
• Serve as is or with some apple slices. Dip the crisp apple slices or bread sticks or pretzels into the warm and gooey creamy cheese and caramel mix.

CARAMEL APPLE AND BRIE SKEWERS

Steps:

• On each of 6 appetizer skewers, alternately thread apple and cheese cubes; place on a serving plate. Drizzle with caramel topping; sprinkle with macadamia nuts and cranberries.

CARAMEL-COATED BRIE

Steps:

• Prepare an ice-water bath. Heat sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, swirling, until sugar dissolves. Cook, swirling and brushing down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush (to preventsugar crystals from forming), until dark amber. Immediately dip bottom of pan in ice-water bath to stop the cooking.
• Place brie on a serving platter. Dip pecans into caramel using chopsticks; arrange around edge of brie. Rewarm remaining caramel if needed, and pour over top, swirling to coat and drip down sides. Let stand until hardened. Crack caramel with a knife to serve.

CARAMEL APPLE BAKED BRIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. In 8-inch skillet, melt butter over low heat. Add apple, cranberries, brown sugar, pistachios and brandy; cook 3 minutes or just until apples are tender, stirring frequently.
• Cut Brie round in half horizontally; place bottom half in ungreased 9-inch pie pan. Spoon half of fruit mixture over cheese; place top half of cheese over fruit. Top with remaining fruit mixture. Secure with 3 toothpicks.
• Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until cheese is soft. With broad spatula, slide Brie from pie pan onto serving platter. Spoon any syrup and fruit from pan over top. Serve warm with baguette bread slices.
