Caramelized Apple and Toasted Walnut Brie
2 tablespoons butter
1 small red apple (such as Fuji or Braeburn), cored and sliced or chopped
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 (15 oz.) ripe, round California Brie cheese, room-temperature
1/4 cup toasted, coarsely chopped California walnuts
Melt butter in 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add apple slices and
sugar; saute, tossing occasionally, until apples are soft and golden brown,
about 12 minutes. Let apple slices cool slightly.
Carefully place chopped apple or fan apple slices over cheese; sprinkle with
walnuts. May be served right away or chill if to be served later.
May be prepared several hours in advance. Serve at room temperature, accompany
