Ingredients

Ingredients for Maple-Pumpkin Butter:

  • 1 15-ounce can Pumpkin Puree (or 1 ¾ cups fresh pumpkin puree)
  • 1/3 cup granulated Sugar
  • 1/3 cup Dark Brown Sugar
  • ¼ cup Applesauce (naturally sweetened)
  • 2 ½ tablespoons Maple Syrup
  • ½ cup Water
  • 1/8 teaspoon Allspice
  • 1/8 teaspoon Nutmeg , ground
  • ¼ teaspoon Cinnamon , ground

Ingredients for the Baked Brie:

  • 1 8-ounce wheel of Brie
  • 2 tablespoons Honey
  • ¼ cup Maple-Pumpkin butter
  • 2 tablespoons Marcona Almonds
  • 2 tablespoons Roasted Salted Pepitas (pumpkin seed kernels)

Instructions

Instructions for Maple-Pumpkin Butter:

  • Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Bring mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently.
  • Lower heat to low and allow to cook for 10 minutes, stirring often.
  • Remove from heat and spoon into a blender. Blend into a smooth puree. Allow to cool fully. Can be kept in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Yield 2 cups.

Instructions for the Baked Brie:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place parchment paper in a baking sheet (note: dark colored baking sheets may require less baking time).
  • Carefully slice the top of brie off removing only the rind. Drizzle honey over the top. Spoon on Maple-Pumpkin Butter and spread to cover the top. Distribute the almonds and pepitas evenly over the top. Bake 8-10 minutes until the cheese is warmed and soft but not melted. Remove and serve.

Notes

The baked brie takes less than 20 minutes start to finish. The Maple-Pumpkin Butter takes approximately 30 minutes including cooling time.
