Baked Brie on Apple slices

INGREDIENTS
Sliced apples
Brie cheese

This is one of the few times I’ll use apples in a recipe; however, you can control the portions very easily. Choose a nice crisp apple like a Rome, Mac or a Granny Smith, and cut the slices very thin. Cut a big X in the top of a 4 oz wheel of brie cheese and place into a buttered baking dish. Bake in 350-degree oven until brown and bubbly, around six minutes. Serve on dinner plate surrounded with apple slices. Limit yourself to 1/4 apple (4 carbs
***Brie is also very good on strawberries ,gg brancrisp, toasted tortillas,jicama celery,or anything (low sugar)you like to dip into cheesedip!The strawberries are my favorite!

What do brie and jarlsberg taste like/ What kind of flavor do they have?

[umpa]

Jarlsberg is mild,buttery and melts beautifully!(and is very filling) Brie baked is ooey gooey goodness.It is sweet and creamy.

[beebs]

I think Im going to have to get some!

[umpa]

If you have to make a choice ,choose the brie first

[beebs]

I got the jarlsberg and man did it taste  good. I melted it over my wilted spinach and bacon crumbs last night at supper!

[umpa]

I like to put jarlsberg,strawberries and fresh spinach in a bowl with balsamic vineager and a little olive oil.

[beebs]

That sounds really yummy!

[umpa]

It is and very filling!

Could some one tell me how many layers of paper the brie comes in? I took off the outer plastic wrap and there is this white paper over the cheese that smells like something you develop film with. Are you supposed to eat this? I really want to eat my cheese!!!

[Doug Varrieur]

The white "cover" is the cheese rind, some people eat it and some don't. It does have a nasty kind of smell. I usually discard it and just eat the creamy center spread on the fruit or brancrisp.

[beebs]

I thought it was some kind of weird paper..... 

[Doug Varrieur]

This also makes a wonderful dessert after a good meal!

Love Brie!

We were at a party and instead of the puff pastry baked Brie, she served it with pecans dripping in a brown sugar syrup.  Is there any sort of substitute for the syrup?  I'd live to keep the nuts in the mix but keep it FTS friendly.
