A bacon-studded cranberry-apple chutney bakes right on top of the wheels, turning Baked Brie into the easiest starter on the table.

Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 350°. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
- In a medium skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove bacon using a slotted spoon and let drain on paper towels, reserving drippings in skillet.
- Add onion and shallot to skillet; cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add vinegar, brown sugar, cranberries, apple, thyme, salt, cinnamon, and ginger; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium; simmer, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Place Brie on prepared pan. (Do not remove rind.) Spoon about ½ cup cranberry-apple chutney over each wheel.
- Bake until warmed through, about 10 minutes. Garnish with thyme, if desired. Serve with assorted crisps.
