Make this Easy Apple and Pecan Baked Brie Appetizer

This baked brie recipe is the perfect appetizer to serve up for the upcoming Super Bowl!

I know it's only the first week of the new year but if you're a football fan or just enjoy watching the half-time show like I do, then it's time to start thinking about your menu if you plan on having guests over. This baked brie comes together in just minutes and requires only a handful of ingredients. It will be great to enjoy with either a large or more intimate gathering.

What I love about this recipe is that there are no added sugars. I used a stevia sweetener to add the right amount of sweetness to my apple and pecan mixture. The one that I used was from NutraSweet Natural which will be linked below. Trust me when I say, it tastes just like sugar! The plus side? There's no unpleasant aftertaste!

You will most likely have some leftover apple and pecan mixture that didn't fit under the wrapped brie. Feel free to add this to the outer top of the puff pastry. Also, don't worry if you do not have a cast iron skillet on hand. You can simply bake your brie on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Note that you may have to shorten and adjust the time if you are baking it on a cookie sheet.

I opted to use toasted baguette slices for dipping into the melty cheesy goodness but you can use any of your favorite crackers.

Let me know in the comments if you gave this recipe a try or what other foods you served it with. I hope everyone's new year is off to a great start! I look forward to sharing more fun and delicious recipes with you!
