Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil butter, coconut oil
  • 1 large comice pear peeled, cored, and diced
  • 3 tablespoons raw walnuts chopped
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
  • 2 tablespoons golden raisins
  • 1 tablespoon dried cranberries
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom optional
  • 1 pinch sea salt to taste
  • 1 7-ounce wheel brie cheese, see note*

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add everything but the brie cheese to a small skillet and heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture has thickened, pears have softened, and everything appears sticky, about 5 to 8 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. 
  3. Unwrap the brie cheese and use a sharp knife to cut off the top rind (note you can also leave the rind on...either way works). Place cheese in an oven-safe dish (preferably the dish you'll be using for serving). Top with the pear-walnut mixture and bake on the center rack of the oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
  4. Serve baked brie with choice of gluten-free crackers, sliced pears or apples, and/or toasted baguette.

Notes

  • *Consider goat or sheep's milk brie for those who are allergic to cow's milk
