Ingredients

3 stripss bacon
2 tablespoons finely chopped pecans
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon chili powder
sea salt to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 Goldens Delicious apples , peeled, cored, and cut into
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup , divided
0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 round Brie cheese , 8 ounce
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary , Optional

Instructions

1

Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
2

Lay bacon strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Combine pecans, brown sugar, chili powder, and sea salt in a bowl; evenly sprinkle over bacon.
3

Bake in the preheated oven until browned and crisp, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool. Chop bacon into rough pieces.
4

Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add apples and 1 tablespoon maple syrup; sauté, stirring only every 60 to 90 seconds, until apples are tender and brown, about 8 minutes.
5

Stir in remaining 2 tablespoons maple syrup and cinnamon; transfer to a bowl.
6

Cut a round of parchment paper slightly larger than the round of Brie cheese; place onto a baking sheet. Place Brie on the parchment round; top with apples, making a big mound.
7

Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Add bacon-praline mixture on top of Brie; continue baking until top is bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes more.
8

Transfer to a serving platter using a large spatula; sprinkle with sea salt and rosemary.
