Cut Brie in half horizontally. Place one half of Brie, rind side down, on pan. Spoon half of the apple mixture onto bottom half of Brie, spreading evenly.

Serve with toasted French bread, apple wedges or assorted crackers.

Helpful Hints

Golden raisins or dried cherries can be substituted for dried cranberries, if desired.
