A warm, gooey maple brie surrounded by crisp apples, salty prosciutto, and crunchy nuts—this easy charcuterie board is the perfect fall appetizer for gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 wheel of brie cheese (8 ounces), room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pecans
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • Pinch of flaky sea salt
  • 8 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup dried figs
  • 1 cup red grapes, washed and left in small clusters
  • 2 apples (Honeycrisp or Fuji), sliced and tossed with lemon juice
  • 1 cup mixed nuts (almonds, pecans, walnuts)
  • 1 small baguette, sliced and lightly toasted
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish (optional)
  • Honey or extra maple syrup for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it’s heating up, take the brie out of its packaging and place it in your small oven-safe dish.
  2. Score the top of the brie with a sharp knife in a crosshatch pattern, about ¼ inch deep.
  3. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of maple syrup over the top of the brie. Sprinkle the chopped pecans and rosemary over the top, then add a pinch of flaky salt.
  4. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the brie is warm and slightly puffed but not completely melted.
  5. While the brie bakes, slice the baguette into ½-inch rounds and toast lightly if desired. Slice the apples and toss with lemon juice.
  6. Arrange the board: place the warm brie dish in the center. Add small bowls of nuts and dried figs around it. Fan out apple slices, cluster grapes, and drape prosciutto in loose folds.
  7. Fill in the gaps with baguette slices and any extra nuts or fruit. Tuck rosemary sprigs here and there.
  8. Drizzle a little extra maple syrup or honey over the apples and prosciutto right before serving.
  9. Serve immediately while the brie is still warm.

Notes

Don’t overbake the brie—it should be warm and slightly puffed, not completely melted. Let the brie sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before baking. Score the top shallowly to let maple syrup soak in. Toast nuts for extra flavor. Prep apples right before serving and toss with lemon juice to prevent browning.
