Ingredients
  

  • This recipe keeps things minimal letting caramelized apples and melty plant-based brie do the work. Here's exactly what you need.
  • 1 apple peeled and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons vegan butter
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 pinch cinnamon
  • 8 oz wheel plant-based brie-style cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  • Six ingredients and every single one earns its place. FYI, a firmer apple variety like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith holds its shape better during the caramelizing process than a softer variety like Red Delicious.

Equipment

  • This recipe keeps the tool list refreshingly simple. Here's what to grab:
  • Small skillet (for caramelizing the apples)
  • Small baking dish (for baking the brie)
  • Sharp knife (for scoring the brie and chopping the apple)
  • Wooden spoon (for stirring the apples as they caramelize)
  • No stand mixer, no food processor, nothing complicated. A small skillet and a baking dish handle nearly the entire process.

Method
 

  1. Step 1- Preheat and Prep
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Peel and chop the apple into 1/2-inch pieces.
  3. Step 2- Melt the Butter
  4. Melt the vegan butter in a small skillet over medium heat.
  5. Step 3- Caramelize the Apples
  6. Once melted, add the chopped apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Sauté until the apples soften and the brown sugar reduces into a sticky caramel, about 10 minutes.
  7. Step 4- Prep the Brie
  8. Score the top of the plant-based brie wheel in a hatch pattern. You can also remove the top layer of rind if you prefer, or leave it whole.
  9. Step 5- Assemble
  10. Place the brie in a small baking dish, then pour the caramelized apples over the top. Sprinkle the chopped pecans over everything.
  11. Step 6- Bake
  12. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, until the brie turns melted and gooey.
  13. Step 7- Serve
  14. Enjoy the brie hot with crackers, bread, or apple slices for dipping.
