This Cranberry and Apple Baked Brie is not overly sweet – we don’t like things that are over the top sweet. This is just sweet enough. The tart cranberries cut through the creaminess and richness of the Brie and the cranberries, apples, maple syrup and cinnamon cook into almost a pie filling that’s perfect for piling onto a salty crispy cracker.
