This Cranberry Baked Brie is my favorite holiday appetizer! If you haven't tried warm gooey brie cheese with a brown sugar topping like this, you are missing out!

Ingredients:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
2. Place chopped pecans on a clean baking sheet and bake until toasted and fragrant.  About 7-10 minutes.
3. Place cheese on an oven safe dish with sides.  Sprinkle and lightly pat ½ cup brown sugar over it and on the sides.
4. Bake 15-20 minutes until cheese is soft.
5. While cheese is baking, In a small sauce pan over medium heat, bring 3 Tbsp brown sugar and 3 Tbsp maple syrup to a boil.  Simmer until foamy, about 1-2 minutes.
6. After cheese has baked, sprinkle chopped pecans and craisins over the cheese.  Then drizzle sauce over.
