Ingredients

• 1 pinch ground cinnamon
• 4 tablespoons orange juice
• 1 (8 ounce) round Camembert cheese
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped pecans
• 2 tablespoons peeled, diced apples
• ¼ teaspoon brown sugar
• ⅛ teaspoon molasses

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Use a sharp knife to remove the top rind from the Camembert; leave the rind on the sides and bottom. Place the cheese, cut-side up, in a baking dish just larger than the cheese, or in a Brie baker.

Step 3

Combine orange juice, apples, pecans, brown sugar, molasses, and cinnamon in a small microwave-safe dish and heat for in the microwave for 1 minute. Spread evenly over the top of the Camembert.

Step 4

Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven until gooey and soft in the middle, 15 to 20 minutes; do not overcook as it will turn buttery. Serve warm.
