- ¼ tsp ginger
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
Baked Brie

Instructions
Cranberry Sauce
- Add the apple cider, brown sugar, and spices into a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stir until the sugars have been fully dissolved.

Cup of Yum
Baked Brie
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Place the brie in a shallow round baking dish. Cut a few slits into the top rind of the brie.
- Top the brie with a generous portion of the cranberry sauce (this will vary depending on the size of your brie).
- Bake in preheated oven for fifteen minutes.
- Remove from the oven and drizzle honey over warm brie. Top with chopped walnuts if desired.
- Serve with crackers or bread for a warm holiday appetizer.
Notes
- Add texture by topping brie with walnuts. For an even sweeter dish, you can use candied walnuts.
- Adding the honey after it is baked will keep it from getting lost in the sauce.
- Double the cranberry sauce to use as a spread for your holiday dinner.
- Make the cranberry sauce the day before to save time and have the baked brie ready to go in just a few minutes.
- Use the leftovers as a base for a delicious turkey sandwich.
- Store in an airtight container for up to five days in a fridge. Reheat in the oven or microwave and enjoy warm.
