Tools Needed
How to Make Gluten Free Baked Brie
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large skillet over medium heat fry the bacon until crispy. Remove bacon from pan and drain off all fat except about 1 tablespoon.
Add in the diced apples, shallot, coffee, honey, salt, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Bring to a simmer and simmer just until the apples are soft.
Transfer all but a few tablespoons worth to a blender and blend until smooth. Slice the top off of the wheel of brie, top with prepared jam and place on a baking sheet or in a small baking dish.
Bake for 5-10 minutes until bubbly. To serve, top the brie with the reserved apple bacon mixture and serve with some fresh sliced apples for dipping.
Is Apple Baked Brie a Good Appetizer?
Perfect party appetizer? Um, YES! The textural difference of having both the blended jam and the chunky reserved apples is next level!
Plus it makes for a nice presentation. If you have leftover jam (highly unlikely) it goes great on a gluten free English muffin in the morning! BONUS! Now if you love the jam part, make sure to try this baked brie with fig jam for a different variation.
What Goes Well With Apple Baked Brie?
The sky is the limit with what you can dip into baked brie!
I like to dip apples and keto crispy crackers. But honestly, pretty much anything goes with apple baked brie in my opinion! I even like to lather it up on gluten free bread!
Do You Eat The Skin Off Brie Cheese?
You certainly can! I usually don’t, but it is definitely edible. I normally don’t simply because I love the cheese part so much. But I have been known to eat it.
Should Brie Be Served Warm or Cold?
Definitely warm! You could certainly serve it cold, but I find that it is almost rubbery when cold.
When you warm it up, though, it gets soft and creamy. The perfect consistency to spread or dip into!
