Ingredients
Scale
- ⅔ cup chopped dried apricots or apples
- 1 cup brandy, whiskey or bourbon
- 1 large brie, about 14 ounces
- 1 gluten-free pie crust recipe refrigerated 1 hour
- pinch nutmeg or ½ teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
- brandy from soaking
- ¾ cup coconut sugar
Instructions
- Soak apricots for 4 hours or overnight in brandy in a covered non-plastic container.
- Between 2 sheets of wax paper, roll out pie crust into a large circle. Place in freezer for 10 minutes or until frozen.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Slice brie in half horizontally and remove apricots from liquor, reserving soaking liquid. Grease a 9” round glass pie pan.
- Remove crust from freezer. Peel off both sheets of wax paper and place crust in baking dish.
- Place half brie in center of crust and top with half the fruit and nutmeg or rosemary. Top with remaining brie, then fruit and herbs.
- Fold pie crust around brie, patching crust as necessary so that brie is sealed in crust.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes or until crust is golden brown, and remove brie to a cooling rack for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place brandy from soaking into a small saucepan. Heat just above medium for 5–8 minutes or until it begins to reduce.
- Add coconut sugar and swirl pan to melt. Simmer on medium heat for 4–6 minutes until thickened.
- Pour caramel over brie and serve immediately with sliced apples or pears.
