Cooking Pointers

- Cut the brie into small pieces that fit well on the pretzels to avoid melting too much.
- Drizzle the caramel sauce just before serving to keep the pretzels from getting soggy.

Step 1
Lightly heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place a round of brie right in the center of the sheet and pop it in the oven for about 10 minutes, just until it starts to soften.
Step 2
While the brie is warming up, melt the butter and brown sugar together in a skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the apple slices and cook them until they’re nice and tender, which should take around 5 minutes.
Step 3
When the brie is ready, transfer it to a serving plate. Spoon the warm apple mixture over the top and finish it off with a drizzle of caramel sauce. Grab some pretzel crisps on the side, and you’re all set to enjoy!
Best Pairings For This Dish
Serve these bites on a large platter as an appetizer at parties or family gatherings. They go well with a crisp white wine or sparkling cider. You can also add some fresh herbs like rosemary for an extra touch of flavor.
Refrigeration Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. To keep the pretzels crunchy, consider storing the components separately and assembling just before serving. Reheat the brie slightly if needed.
