Autumn Brie

1 small McIntosh or Cortland apple
1/3 cup golden raisins
1 cup apple cider
1 (8-inch) round Brie cheese
1/4 C. sugar
Craisins
Pecans, sugar, 1/4 t. cayenne

Preheat the over to 350 degrees. Core and chop the apple. Place in a saucepan with the raisins, craisins, cider and sugar and boil gently until the apples are tender but not mushy (approximately 1/2 to 2 minutes.) Put the Brie in an ovenproof dish slightly larger than the Brie. Strain the liquid from the apple/raisin/craisin mixture and put drained apple and raisins/craisins on top of the Brie. Garnish with chopped pecans, a little extra sugar and cayenne and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
Serve with sliced French bread, or I prefer a baguette (and I know Shan does too!)

Was happy to find this. I used to make an Autumn Brie very similar but lost the recipe. Thanks!
