Creamy Baked Brie With Apples and Maple Syrup

A nice appetizer during the fall. Very easy to prepare and can be served at a dinner party. I received this recipe from a friend years ago.

• Ready In: 8 mins
• Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 8  ounces  brie cheese (1 round of Brie with rind)
• 3  tablespoons pure maple syrup (approximately)
• 1 -2  apple, 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. Preheat oven to 350°F.
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. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until cheese begins to melt.
4. Arrange apple slices and ham around brie and serve with baguette slices.
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.).
