Prep Time20 Minutes
Servings8
Cook Time25 Minutes
Ingredients
1 apple, cored and diced
1 pear, cored and diced
1/2 cup whole cranberries
4 thyme stems, plus more for serving
3 Tbs granulated sugar
1 (2-inch) piece orange peel
1 star anise
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
2 (8 oz) wheels brie cheese
Red Wine Poached Pear, optional
crackers or breadsticks, for serving
Directions
- In a saucepan, combine the apples, pears, cranberries, thyme, sugar, orange peel, star anise, cinnamon and salt. Cook over medium heat for 7 to 10 minutes (stirring often) until fruit is soft and cranberries burst. Let cool completely. Remove thyme stems, orange peel and star anise; discard.
- Preheat oven to 375° F. With one brie wheel, spoon out some of the cheese in the middle to create a shallow hole. Place cut-side up in a shallow baking dish. Spoon half of fruit mixture into the hole and toward the edge of the brie. Place the other brie wheel on top of fruit, and spoon the remaining fruit on top.
- Bake the brie for 10 to 15 minutes, just until cheese is melty. Use a wide spatula to carefully transfer to a serving plate. Top with a Red Wine Poached Pear (if desired). Garnish with additional thyme stems. Serve immediately with crackers or breadsticks.
