1 (16 oz) brie wheel

1 cup pecan halves, lightly toasted
-
1/2 cup dried cranberries
-
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds, lightly toasted

1 1/2 cups maple syrup
INSTRUCTIONS
-
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Place the brie on the prepared baking sheet and bake until soft, 25 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, in a small pot, warm the pecans, cranberries, pumpkin seeds, and maple syrup over medium heat, mixing until warmed through and the maple syrup evenly coats everything.

Transfer the baked brie to a serving dish just large enough to hold it snugly without crowding and pour the maple syrup mixture overtop. Serve immediately while still hot alongside toasted baguette and a small spoon or knife for spreading.
