Pumpkin Spice Baked Brie – creamy, melted brie topped with a layer of pumpkin and spices, an apple chutney, wrapped in flaky puff pastry and drizzled with extra maple syrup.
I am so excited to share this recipe with you today! Not only because I love brie, and it’s fall, and all things pumpkin spice, but mostly because it’s in honor of my dear friend Liz and her upcoming wedding!
Liz is an amazing food blogger over at Pumpkin and Peanut Butter. I’ve had so much fun getting to know her over the past year of my food blogging life – and have especially enjoyed all of our “no way! me too!” moments. We both share a love for balanced lives, vegetarian food, and so much more — including teaching little first graders.
I’ve got a lot of love for my mom’s Perfect Pumpkin Bar recipe, and a love for pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving, but besides that, up until a year or two ago I didn’t really cook with pumpkin outside of those two recipes. Needless to say, I’m so glad this is changing.
Because this current pumpkin situation should not be missed.
My favorite part is layer of pumpkin mixed with pumpkin pie spice on top of the brie — it’s just divine. Add on the apple “chutney” (not sure we can technically call it that, but I’m going to) with comforting thyme and rosemary all wrapped up in a flaky puff pastry — ah, to die for.
The brie is all sorts of melty, with creamy, warm pumpkin, and bites of apple. Nothing says fall better – like, at all! I mean there’s cinnamon, pumpkin, nutmeg, thyme, rosemary, apples, and carbs! Life just can’t get better than that.
Let’s not forget the extra maple syrup I like to drizzle on top…
Pour yourself a glass of wine before cutting into the brie, and let’s cheers to Liz and Nate — wishing you both a lifetime of happiness, love, and delicious food!
