There’s something magical about pulling a warm, golden brie out of the oven during the holidays — the aroma of toasted nuts, the shine of melted maple glaze, and that irresistible moment when the knife cuts through the creamy center. 🍂
This Vegan Baked Brie with Maple Pecans & Cranberry Glaze brings all those cozy, festive feels — minus the dairy. Made with vegan brie-style cheese and a quick homemade cranberry maple topping, it’s an elegant yet effortless appetizer that looks straight out of a winter cookbook.
Whether you’re hosting Thanksgiving dinner, a holiday potluck, or a cozy evening in with mulled wine, this dish is guaranteed to impress.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place your vegan brie in a small oven-safe dish or cast iron pan lined with parchment.
In a small skillet, melt the vegan butter and add pecans. Stir in maple syrup and cinnamon. Toast for 2–3 minutes until glossy and caramelized.
Place the brie in the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, just until soft and slightly melted. Don’t overbake or it will lose shape.
Once baked, spoon the cranberry sauce over the top, followed by the maple pecans. Garnish with rosemary sprigs for that festive touch. Serve warm with crackers or toasted baguette.
