5 stars even though we messed up. :( The flavor is awesome. But we decided to us a triangle shaped brie. Well , when it started to leak through we realized that the round had a brine covering the whole brie. Don't make that mistake. Otherwise this was excellent. We enjoyed the smoothness of the cheese with the crisp outer crust of the dough. The apple and pecan mixture just added a nice touch of sweetness to the overall dish. Thanks for posting. :) -
I had company over and made this for us to munch on while watching movies. It was really good. I loved how the cheese melted and the apples softened. Such a nice blend of flavors going on there. There was the added pleasure of the nuts that I loved too. I served this with whole wheat Ritz crackers and wheat thins. Very tasty!!! I will be keeping this in mind for when I have to bring something to an event. Thank you for sharing it with us Annacia! Linda
