Baked Brie with Carmelized Onions

Cheese? Onions? Garlic? Apples? SIGN ME UP!

WHAT YOU NEED:
1 head of garlic (I used minced garlic)
1/4 cup of butter
1 yellow onion, sliced
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and sliced
1 (8oz) wedge or round piece of Brie cheese
1 sheet of frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 tablespoon of melted butter

Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees. Place garlic on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Roast for fifteen minutes. (I used minced garlic and placed it on a baking sheet and roasted it for ten minutes until its color changed.)
Meanwhile, melt 1/4 cup of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add in your onion and apple mixture and cook and stir until tender and brown, about fifteen minutes. Set aside. Arrange brie on top of the thawed puff pastry. Top the brie with your onion and apple mixture. Fold the puff pastry over the cheese and pinch it closed.
 Brush it with melted butter and carefully place it in a lightly greased baking dish. Bake for twenty minutes or until golden brown. Let cool for thirty minutes. Garnish with garlic and serve with your favorite crackers!
