Ingredients

Cranberry Sauce
  • 6 oz cranberries
  • ½ cup apple cider
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • ¼ tsp ginger
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
Baked Brie
  • 8 oz brie round
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ¼ cup walnuts chopped - optional garnish

Instructions

Cranberry Sauce
    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the apple cider, brown sugar, and spices into a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stir until the sugars have been fully dissolved.
  2. Once dissolved, add the fresh cranberries and turn up heat until the mixture starts to boil.
  3. Reduce to a simmer and allow the sauce to cook for roughly ten minutes.
  4. Once all the cranberries have popped and the sauce has thickened remove from heat and allow to cool.
Baked Brie
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Place the brie in a shallow round baking dish. Cut a few slits into the top rind of the brie.
  3. Top the brie with a generous portion of the cranberry sauce (this will vary depending on the size of your brie).
  4. Bake in preheated oven for fifteen minutes.
  5. Remove from the oven and drizzle honey over warm brie. Top with chopped walnuts if desired.
  6. 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.
