Baked Brie With Maple-Bacon Apples

• 1 apple, unpeeled, cored, and cut into thin wedges
• 2 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
• 2 tbsp maple syrup, divided
• 350 g wheel of brie
• 1 Crackers or sliced bread
• 1 Chopped chives (optional)

1. Cut apple into thin wedges. Heat a medium frying pan on medium-high. Add bacon and cook 3 to 6 minutes or until crispy. Remove from pan using a slotted spoon. Drain on paper towels. Remove and discard half of fat from pan.
2. Add apples to bacon fat in pan. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook while stirring often, about 6 to 10 minutes or until apples are very soft. Add reserved bacon and 1 tbsp maple syrup.
3. Preheat oven to 350u0b0F (175u0b0C). Line a pie dish with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Place brie on top of foil and poke holes in it with a skewer. Spoon apple mixture on top. Bake until cheese is very soft, about 10 to 15 minutes. Drizzle with remaining maple syrup and sprinkle with chives. Serve immediately with crackers.
4. Tip: You can make the apple topping up to a day in advance, just be sure to keep refrigerated.
