Ingredients

2 rounds of brie
1-2 apples peeled cored, and chopped
2 tbsp of lemon juice
1 tbsp of cinnamon sugar
2 tbsp of unsalted butter
2 tbsp of water
2 pears but in half
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
2 slices thick-cut bacon cooked until crispy and crumbled
honey

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Peel and core the apples, then cut them into small cubes.
Add the apples to a bowl and add the lemon juice and cinnamon sugar; toss the apples to evenly coat.
Cut the pears in half, remove the core, brush them with lemon juice, and dust them with sugar cinnamon.
Place a skillet over medium-high heat and add the 2 tablespoons of butter; when the butter is melted, add the apples and two tablespoons of water, and stir; reduce the heat to low and cook until the apples are soft for about 7 to 8 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the apples to a small bowl and set aside.
Adjust the heat to medium-high and place the pears cut-side down into the skillet. Cook for 2 minutes, then adjust the heat to low and cook for 7 to 8 minutes until the pears are soft but not mushy.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pears to a place cut-side up, and set them aside.
Place the brie into the skillet, then add the apples on top. Put the skillet into the oven on the middle rack and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
Remove the brie from the oven and add the pears, crumbled bacon, and chopped nuts.
Drizzle with honey.
Serve with crusty bread, bagel chips, Biscoff cookies, or crackers.
