This Baked Brie is bursting with flavor. It is literally one of my most favorite and easiest appetizers to serve. Definitely add it to your Superbowl (or next party) menu.
When I am having a get together it is such a crowd pleaser, it is gone in seconds. And you can prepare it in advance, and then bake it when you are ready to eat. EVEN BETTER!!!

In a bowl put the apricot jam, brown sugar, pistachios, rosemary, pinch of salt and brandy.Mix and set aside.
Next, remove a thin layer off the top of the brie keeping the sides intact.

Top the brie with a generous layer of the apricot mix.
Then top with the pears and another layer of the apricot mixture.
Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Serves immediately.
