1/2 cup toasted almonds |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
2. Heat brown sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat until sugar is completely dissolved.
3. Add figs and cook until softened, about 10 minutes.
4. Stir in almonds and vanilla extract.
5. Place Brie wheel in a baking dish.
6. Pour fig mixture over top.
7. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes OR until softened but not melted.
8. Serve with crackers.
