1

Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 10- to 12-inch round pie plate or baking dish with shortening or cooking spray.
2

Place round of Brie in middle of pie plate.
3

In medium bowl, mix oats, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon and pecans. Add butter, and use your hands to incorporate softened butter into dry mixture. (You just want everything to be moist.) Mix in apples.
4

Spread apple mixture over top of Brie and around sides.
5

Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until the crisp topping is browned. Serve hot with crackers or toasted bread.

The Brie can be assembled a few days in advance, refrigerated and baked just before serving.
Try using sliced almonds or walnuts instead of pecans if you do not like pecans.
In place of a pie plate, a 10-inch cast-iron skillet works well, too.
