  1. Brie lovers heaven!
     
  2. Wow! I tried this tonight but didn't have 24 hours to chill the sugar and nut glaze. I put it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, and it still came out fabulous. Other than that, I made the recipe exactly as described except when I served it, it wasn't quite as soft as we like it, so I smooshed (the technical term) the sugar and nut glaze into the cheese by poking the top a few times, then stuck it back in the oven for 2 minutes. It came out perfect!!! As it came out of the oven, my husband came home from a day of fishing with his friends. They were just going to drop him off and get home (they were late and in trouble!) but when I took samples outside, they came in and didn't leave until it was completely gone, crust (is that what you call the outside of brie?) and all! Of the apples, pears and crackers, our favorites were the apples (there was just something about the combination), then the crackers, then the pear. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe, I would give it more stars if I could!
