Baked Brie with Bacon & Apples

3 strips bacon, diced
2 T. unsalted butter 
1 apple (such as Granny Smith), diced
2 T. brown sugar
1/2 t. ground cinnamon
1/4 t. kosher salt
1 8-oz. wheel Brie cheese
Toasted and sliced baguette, crackers, and/or apple slices, for serving

Heat oven to 325 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium skillet, cook bacon until brown and crisp, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside. Save fat for another use, if desired.

Melt the butter over medium heat. When the butter is foamy, add apple and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt, and continue to cook until apples are tender, about 2 more minutes. Remove from heat.

Slice the rind off the top of the Brie and place it on the baking sheet. Bake until very soft, 8-10 minutes.

Slide the baked Brie onto a serving dish and top with the apple mixture and the bacon. Surround it with baguette slices, crackers, and/or apple slices; serve immediately.

Serves 8.
