Apple brie dip turns a wheel of melty cheese into a warm fall appetizer, with cinnamon apples, toasted walnuts and a drizzle of caramel all cooked in one skillet. It comes together in about 30 minutes and needs nothing more than a skillet and a spoon.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve been obsessed with skillet brie dips<\/a> all summer. But now that we\u2019re moving into fall, it\u2019s time to shift the flavors from peaches and berries to fall fruits and warm spices.<\/strong><\/p>\n Apple brie dip is a skillet cheese dip made with sliced apples, brie cheese and walnuts. Fall apples need a head start in the pan so they soften into the melty cheese instead of staying firm. It\u2019s a wonderful appetizer for the fall or holiday season.<\/p>\n Fun Fruit Fact:<\/strong> Did you ever really pay attention to fruit seasons? Fruits harvested in summer, like berries and stone fruits, are tender. They don\u2019t need much heat to soften, so you can add them to a skillet and they\u2019ll melt alongside cheese perfectly.<\/p>\n Fruits harvested in fall, like apples and pears, are firmer. If you add them to the skillet at the same time as the cheese, they\u2019ll stay firm to the bite when the cheese is ready. That\u2019s why I partially cook the apple slices before adding the brie, so the apple melts into the cheese on your bread or cracker.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Heat Grill: <\/strong>Light your coals in a charcoal chimney or gill and heat your grill to medium heat.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Prep Apples: <\/strong>Peel, core and slice the apples. Toss in a mixing bowl with the white sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Fry Apples: <\/strong>Place the skillet on the grill over the coals. Add the butter. One melted, add the apples. Cook until simmering, about 5 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Score Brie: <\/strong>Score deep diamonds into the brie. Push the apples to the edge of the skillet and add the cheese to the center.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Add Juice and Nuts: <\/strong>Pour the apple juice around the cheese. Sprinkle walnuts on top. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Melt Cheese: <\/strong>Cook until the cheese melts, adding more apple juice if needed. It should take about 15 minutes. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Finish: <\/strong>Just before taking the skillet off, drizzle with caramel. Garnish with fresh herbs.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Serve: <\/strong>Serve with buttercream bread, toast or crackers.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n If the heat is too hot and the liquid evaporates quickly, add a splash of apple juice so the sugars don\u2019t burn. Warm spices like nutmeg, cloves or apple pie spice work in place of cinnamon. Camembert can stand in for brie.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Calories: <\/span>679<\/span>kcal<\/span><\/span>Carbohydrates: <\/span>76<\/span>g<\/span><\/span>Protein: <\/span>25<\/span>g<\/span><\/span>Fat: <\/span>31<\/span>g<\/span><\/span>Saturated Fat: <\/span>15<\/span>g<\/span><\/span>Polyunsaturated Fat: <\/span>6<\/span>g<\/span><\/span>Monounsaturated Fat: <\/span>7<\/span>g<\/span><\/span>Trans Fat: <\/span>0.3<\/span>g<\/span><\/span>Cholesterol: <\/span>72<\/span>mg<\/span><\/span>Sodium: <\/span>951<\/span>mg<\/span><\/span>Potassium: <\/span>369<\/span>mg<\/span><\/span>Fiber: <\/span>7<\/span>g<\/span><\/span>Sugar: <\/span>25<\/span>g<\/span><\/span>Vitamin A: <\/span>566<\/span>IU<\/span><\/span>Vitamin C: <\/span>3<\/span>mg<\/span><\/span>Calcium: <\/span>287<\/span>mg<\/span><\/span>Iron: <\/span>5<\/span>mg<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Nutrition information is automatically calculated, so should only be used as an approximation.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n See the full recipe card above for servings and a full list of ingredients<\/em>.<\/p>\n Light your charcoal in a charcoal chimney or in your grill, and let it come to medium heat. You want steady, even heat, not raging hot coals.<\/p>\n Peel, core and slice the apple on a cutting board<\/a>. Toss the slices in a mixing bowl with the white sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt. The flour slightly thickens the juices so the apples aren\u2019t runny once they hit the skillet.<\/p>\n Place the skillet<\/a> on the grill grate over the hot coals. Add the butter and let it melt. Add the apple mixture, and cook for about 5 minutes to soften the apples.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Score deep diamonds into the brie so it melts evenly. Push the apples to the edges of the skillet and add the brie to the center.<\/p>\n Pour the apple juice around the brie and top with the walnuts.<\/p>\n Cook until the cheese melts, adding more apple juice if needed. You\u2019re looking for gooey brie that oozes out of the white rind. <\/p>\n Just before taking the skillet off the heat, drizzle with caramel. Garnish with fresh oregano.<\/p>\n Serve this brie appetizer straight from the skillet with buttercream bread<\/a>, toast, baguette slices or crackers for scooping. It\u2019s a wonderful appetizer for the fall or holiday season, so set it out at a gathering with plenty of dippers nearby.<\/p>\n Apple brie dip is best eaten right away.
