Cranberry Baked Brie With Pecans and Maple Syrup

A baked brie is always a crowd favourite – it’s such an easy appetizer to make, yet the results are impressive. Sebastian and Sheila Centner’s baked brie is a decadent combination of rich gooey melted brie with a warm and sticky maple syrup topping. While the brie is baking in a 325°F oven, pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries, maple syrup and pecans get warmed up in separate pot on the stove. When the baked brie is soft and ready to serve, the syrup toppings get poured overtop. Serve with crostini or toasted baguette.
