I love this recipe. I always serve it with apples and bread so I can switch back and forth. It is good with crisp pears as well.

Candied Nuts and Brie Dip with apples, bread, and crackers.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This baked Brie is a must-do the next time you have guests. We loved the warm and creamy Brie with the nutty caramelized topping and could not stop eating it. Each bite is buttery, sweet, salty, and crunchy when spooned onto a piece of bread or cracker. It can be served alone as an appetizer or added to a charcuterie board.

How To Make candied nuts and brie dip

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, nuts, and brandy.

Step 2

Place the cheese in a baking dish a little larger than the Brie wheel.
Step 3

Bake about 6 minutes until the cheese begins to soften in the middle.
Step 4

Spread the sugar mixture evenly over the Brie.
Step 5

Bake until the sugar melts; about 3-5 minutes more.
Step 6

Serve with apples, crackers, and/or sliced baguette. *You can use a 17.6 oz wheel of Brie for this recipe for a larger crowd. Just triple the other ingredients.
