1/2 cup dried apricots, chopped- 2 tbsp brown sugar

- Assorted crackers
Equipment
- Medium saucepan

Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF (204ºC). Heat the saucepan on medium-high. Add the dried apricots, brown sugar, water, balsamic vinegar and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and stir the mixture until it becomes thick.
2. Cut off the top of the cheese's rind and set it aside. Place the cheese on top of a lightly greased baking sheet.
3. Spoon the mixture on top of the cheese. Spread it around, making sure it covers the entirety of the top of the cheese. Sprinkle the rosemary over the mixture.
4. Bake the cheese for 10 to 12 minutes until it become soft. Take it out of the oven, then serve it with assorted crackers.
Tips
- Instead of covering the brie with the apricot mixture, you can add a different taste by adding, cranberry sauce, honey and almonds or caramelized onions with garlic and thyme.
Enjoy!
