recipe reviews for:

Toasted Apple-Pecan Brie Sandwiches

“I came up with this recipe one night for dinner and my husband and family loved it and it has become a regular for us. The combination of spiced apples and brie cheese is amazing. Great served with a spring lettuce salad. You can also make this as an appetizer by using a baguette loaf instead of sourdough slices.”

Good, but I think I'd nix the sugar if I made these again. I like the combo of the brie with the apples but the sugar is too much for me. My brie melted, but it was still good. I think I'll have the apples separately,maybe over pancakes. Thanks for the recipe!

Made recipe without any changes. Delicious. This was more of a breakfast meal though and we will be having this for breakfast not dinner from now on.

I made this awhile back and forgot to review it. What a treat these were! And they save well for leftovers too.

Very yummy! I added some sliced grilled chicken breast to make it more of a meal. After I lightly toasted the sourdough bread, I added 3 slices of brie, then the chicken then the cinnamon apples/pecans and popped it in the oven for a few minutes. Kids and hubby all loved it.

If you use sweeter apples, you can cut the sugar down to about a tablespoon, added once the apples are cooked, and adjust cinnamon to taste. While good, this creation has so many calories from sugar and butter and cheese that it's definitely a once in a while treat rather than something to serve everyday.

This is a great recipe. I use ciabatta rolls for the bread. I think I would make this every week if I had my way, but for the family I control myself. I did get ahead of myself the first time and thought the apples didn't have enough moisture, so I added some apple juice. Big mistake, it made them very runny and not easy to eat, so now I am more patient and the apple turn out perfect. Very happy I found this recipe.

I love this recipie. I make it as an appetizer for parties...although it is not a good one to transport cause it is best served warm and fresh. I use a whole block of brie and more slices of bread...but stick to the same amount of apples...when making it for four or more. Thanks for this awesome recipe!

WOW, this was delicious. Per a suggestion on the recipe exchange, I made this into a french toast recipe by making standard french toast and topping it with the pecan, cheese, and pear mixture. I was suprised how wonderful the flavors went together. Thanks so much, will make this often.

This recipe is INCREDIBLY easy and nobody who eats it can tell! It takes all of 15-20 minutes to make, including peeling the apples. This is the type of dish you get for $15 at a nice restaurant. Absolutely loved it
