One baguette cut into 1/2'' slices (about 30)One wheel of Brie cheese
2 firm & crunch apples such as granny smith
1 red onion
1/4 cup of craisins
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
olive oil
Arrange the baguette slices on a cookie sheet, coat them lightly with olive oil and put them under the broiler just until they start to turn golden brown (appx 3 minutes). Repeat on the other side. Set aside
Cut the red onion into 1/4 pieces and then take the 1/4 pieces and cut them as thinly as you can. Do the same with the apples. I tossed them with a little olive oil and put them in a large frying pan on medium heat and cooked for about 15-20 minutes stirring every couple minutes. After about 10 minutes 1 added the craisins. When the apples and onions are browned and soft add the brown sugar and balsamic vinegar, stir for about 1-2 mintues and remvoe from heat.
Remove the wrapper from teh brie cheese and wrap it in some parchment or wax paper. Place it in the oven pre-heated to 350 form 10-20 minutes depending on the size of your brie. I put it in when I started the apples/onions. I checked on it every 5-minutes. Press down on it until the wheel starts to be really soft. This means the inside is nice and melty. If you are serving this as an appetizer simply pile the baguettes on a platter, with the wheel of brie and apples/onions. And let people assemble it themselves. If you want it to be more formal part for your dinner, lay the baguettes flat on the platter, slice a small amount of cheese onto each baguette slice and top with small spoonful of apples/onions.
NOTE a 2nd way to cook the apples and onions is to toss them in a zip-lock baggy with the craisins, vinegar and sugar, then place them on a cookie sheet that is lined in tin foil and sprayed with pam. Place them in the oven on 350 for 20 minutes. You may need to toss them a couple times as they cook.
