A luscious, elegant appetizer for fall and winter is baked brie. It looks fancy but is easy to make. This appetizer is perfect for all holiday parties and dinners. I love adding cranberries and nuts to baked brie in fall and winter. My choice of nuts is pecans, but you could also use walnuts if you prefer their taste. Both work well with baked brie.
