Whipped Brie & Salted Apple Cider Caramel
Truly the PERFECT combination of savory, sweet, creamy and a pop of acid. I will be serving this at EVERY holiday event, not kidding. I think the apple slices are the BEST way to eat this but crackers and bread work too.
Equipment
- 1 saucepan
- 1 food processor or blender, (cuisinart food processor)
Ingredients
- 6 oz brie no rind
- 2 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup apple cider
- 1 tbsp cane sugar
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp heavy cream
- ¼-½ Kosher salt
- Flaky salt to taste
- Toasted pecans to taste
- Toasted almonds to taste
- Apple slices see notes
Instructions
- Add the apple cider to a saucepan with both sugars. Mix well. Cook on medium high heat, mixing every few minutes until reduced by half. It should loosely coat the back of a spoon. This will take 12-14 minutes. Add the butter and cook for 1 more minute
- Turn heat off and mix in kosher salt and cream. If it turns out too hard thin it out with more cream or a touch of apple cider.
- Whip the brie and cream cheese until smooth.
- Spread it on a plate and add the caramel, flaky salt, nuts. I think the apple slices are the BEST way to eat this but crackers and bread work too. If you choose to eat it with apples make sure to check out my tip in the notes so the don't brown. Enjoy!
Notes
Soak the apples in cold water with salt (1 tsp per cup) for 10 min to prevent browning.
