No one will believe this impressive appetizer is so easy to make. You can substitute dried cranberries or apricots for the cherries and apple juice for the brandy. —Kevin Phebus, Katy, Texas

• 1 round (8 ounces) Brie cheese
• 1/2 cup dried cherries
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/4 cup brandy or unsweetened apple juice

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Place cheese in a 9-in. pie plate. Combine cherries, walnuts, brown sugar and brandy; spoon over cheese.
